Mary Poppins Jr. Full Synopsis from Mtishows.Com
Mary Poppins Jr. Full Synopsis From mtishows.com Bert, a man of many trades, introduces the audience to the unhappy Banks family: father George, mother Winifred, and children Jane and Michael (Prologue). The family; the housekeeper, Mrs. Brill; and the houseboy, Robertson Ay, are shocked when Katie Nanna quits and storms out in frustration. George muses about what he expects from the household - the nanny, in particular ("Cherry Tree Lane - Part 1"). Though Jane and Michael insist upon their own requirements for their caregiver ("The Perfect Nanny"), George dismisses their requests ("Cherry Tree Lane - Part 2"). As if summoned, Mary Poppins appears, offering her services as a nanny. She fits the children's requirements exactly ("Practically Perfect / Practically Perfect - Playoff" ). She then takes the children to the park, where they meet Bert, who describes how wonderful everyday life can be when spending time with Mary ("Jolly Holiday"). At first, the children are not convinced, but when Mary Poppins brings to life a park statue named Neleus, Jane and Michael are in awe of her. The children return home and gush to their father about the nanny, but George is preoccupied ("Winds Do Change"). A few weeks later, the household is preparing for Winifred's party, and Jane and Michael make a mess of the house. Despite Mary's magic ("A Spoonful of Sugar"), the party is ruined when no one attends ("Spoonful - Playoff"). Later, Mary takes the children on a visit to George's workplace, the bank ("Precision and Order - Part 1"). While Clerks are bustling about and clients are trying to convince George to grant them loans, the children burst into the bank ("Precision and Order - Part 2").

Mary Poppins JR Character Descriptions.P
Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s Mary Poppins JR CHARACTER BREAKDOWN MALES Bert, the narrator of the story, is a good friend to Mary Poppins. An everyman, Bert is a chimney sweep and a sidewalk artist, among many other occupations. With a twinkle in his eye and skip in his step, Bert watches over the children and the goings-on around Cherry Tree Lane. He is a song-and-dance man with oodles of charm who is wise beyond his years. We are looking for a very strong singer, dancer and actor for this role. Songs: Prologue Practically Perfect (Playoff) Jolly Holiday Winds Do Change Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Twists and Turns Playing the Game/Chim Chim Cher-ee Let’s Go Fly a Kite Step in Time Step in Time (Playoff) A Spoonful of Sugar (Reprise) George Banks, husband to Winifred and father to Jane and Michael, is a banker to the very fiber of his being. Demanding “precision and order” in his household, he is a pipe-and-slippers man who doesn’t have much to do with his children, and believes that Miss Andrew, his cruel, strict, childhood nanny, gave him the perfect upbringing. George’s emotional armor, however off-putting, conceals a sensitive soul. A baritone (lower singer), George may also speak-sing and should be a very strong actor. Songs: Cherry Tree Lane (Part 1) Cherry Tree Lane (Part 2) Precision and Order (speaking) A Man Has Dreams Cherry Tree Lane (Reprise) Give Us the Word Anything Can Happen (Part 2) Anything Can Happen (Finale) Michael Banks is the cheeky son of Mr.

Director’s Note On behalf of our cast and crew, I’m very excited to welcome you to The Aerospace Players’ production of Mary Poppins! The cast has been in rehearsals for almost three months now, and is thrilled to bring the show to stage, and to share it with you. Mary Poppins, despite the popularity of the 1964 movie, is only a relatively recent arrival to stage, having made its stage debut in London in 2004, then opening on Broadway in 2006, where it ran for 2,619 performances over seven years. Featuring the classic music and characters of the movie, it nonetheless reinvented and deepened the story of the Banks family, adding interesting new characters and heartfelt new music. And since no one could imagine Mary Poppins without a little “magic,” it also seems includes some special treats for the audience.
