Naperville North High School (NNHS) is thrilled to present Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s Mary Poppins, a musical based on the stories of P.L. Travers and the Walt Disney film. This musical is an enchanting mixture of irresistible story, unforgettable songs, breathtaking dance numbers and astonishing stagecraft.

Performances of Mary Poppins will continue at 7PM Fri., April 28. Weekend performances will start at 2PM and 7PM Sat., April 29; and 2PM Sun., April 30.

This musical transports the audience to London 1910, where the jack-of-all-trades Bert introduces us to the troubled Banks family: George, a father who works constantly, Winifred, a mother who is always distracted, and their children, Jane and Michael, who have suffered without strong caretaking forces in their lives. Their latest nanny has just quit with a fit, proclaiming the children as hopelessly and irrevocably spoiled and misbehaved.

Then along comes Mary Poppins with her special combination of whimsy, magic and disciplined common sense into the children’s lives. She takes the children on many memorable and magical 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 practically perfect nanny and realize that “anything can happen if you let it.”

Tickets can be purchased online at www.naperville203.tix.com. Prices start at $10.
