The “practically perfect” 70-minute musical, designed for middle school-aged performers, is based on the classic P.L. Travers stories and the Walt Disney film. The PCMS Pegleg Players cast includes 23 students led by Mr. Robbie Riehn the PCMS Drama Director
“This show has been so much fun! To our knowledge this is the first time Mary Poppins will be brought to a stage in Perryville. It has been exciting to know we are bringing something new and fresh, but also classic to our audience. It is a very technical show, said Riehn. We have several magic tricks and scene changes. Thankfully I have an amazing crew, many of which are former PCMS Drama students. This show could not run without our techies!”
All of London is shouting from the rooftops about this exciting stage adaptation of the classic tales of Mary Poppins. Join the Banks family as they encounter adventure after fun-filled adventure with their curious new nanny, Mary Poppins. Adapted especially for young performers, this musical includes favorite Sherman brothers songs such as “A Spoonful of Sugar,” “Feed the Birds,” and “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,” as well as wonderful new songs by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe.
