Mary Poppins Jr. takes center stage at Barn Theater

Based on one of the most popular Disney movies of all time and the Broadway musical that played for over 2,500 performances and received multiple Olivier and Tony Awards nominations, Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s Mary Poppins is capturing hearts in a whole new way: as a practically perfect Broadway Junior musical.

The jack-of-all trades, Bert, introduces us to England in 1910 and the troubled Banks family. Young Jane and Michael have sent many a nanny packing before Mary Poppins arrives on their doorstep. Using a combination of magic and common sense, she must teach the family members how to value each other again.

Mary Poppins takes the children on many magical and memorable adventures, but Jane and Michael aren’t the only ones upon whom she has a profound effect. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that “Anything can happen if you let it.”

A dazzling cast is set to wow audiences. Playing the part of Mary

Poppins is Sarah Totty, with Gage Phipps playing the ever so clever Bert. Children Jane and Michael

Banks will be played by duo Hannah Jones and Daniel Satko. Wendy Jones is the mind behind the show's choreography. These are just a few of the cast and crew members who have helped to put on this feature production.
