One of the most popular Disney movies of all time is capturing hearts in a whole new way: as a practically perfect musical! Based on the books by P.L. Travers and the classic Walt Disney film, MARY POPPINS is a perfect holiday musical for the entire family.

Directed by artistic director Rob Hypes, with musical direction by Dennis Brown, and choreography by Deborah Fauerbach.
