About Mary Poppins Jr

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."

Disney and Cameron Mackintosh's Mary Poppins JR. is an enchanting mixture of irresistible story, unforgettable songs and breathtaking dance numbers. This show is a perfect opportunity to showcase a strong, iconic female performer, as well as unique special effects and illusions.

 

Run Time: about 1 hour 25 minutes including a 15 minute intermission

Federal Way High School Drama Department

Providing access to the Arts is key to creating well-rounded human beings.  Some kids find their place in sports, some in academics, and for others, they find their place of belonging in the Arts.  We strive to create an atmosphere that supports a safe space for all students to feel at home and ready to explore new skills. We aim to help the next generation of adults be well prepared and well adjusted when they step up into their own to go out into the world and do great things. 

If you would like to help the FWHS Drama Department further our mission, we gratefully accept financial donations (see the donations tab) as well as parent support with set building, costume construction, fundraising, decorating for shows, and more.
