Mary Poppins is a delightful musical for all ages. The Bank's family children search for the perfect nanny after many unfortunate, unforgiving and strict nannies have been thrust into their lives. After writing a letter which describes their ideal nanny, along comes Mary Poppins who is practically prefect in every way.

Though strict, Mary raises the children through music and storytelling. Their mother is a former actress struggling to be a homemaker and the perfect banker's wife. She tries to keep the kids happy and busy, but struggles with her husband's view wanting the children raised by a strict and scowling nanny. By the end of the musical even Mr. Bank's, the suit wearing, stuffy, banker father learns that time with his children is truly the most cherished part of life.

This Broadway Musical will delight and amuse audiences of all ages as you sing along to familiar tunes.
