The story of Mary Poppins is taking flight on the local stage as the Port Arthur Little Theatre opens its summer production of “Mary Poppins: The Broadway Musical,” running from July 18 through August 10 at its theater on Jimmy Johnson Boulevard.
Directed by longtime community theater contributor Debbie Pletcher, the musical brings together three rotating casts to tell the classic tale of the magical nanny who helps the Banks family rediscover love, imagination, and the power of possibility.
The production is based on the P.L. Travers books and the 1964 Walt Disney film, with music and lyrics by Richard and Robert Sherman, and additional material created for the stage version that ran on Broadway for over 2,500 performances. The show was nominated for nine Olivier Awards and seven Tonys, including Best Musical.
