“Mary Poppins is this — is a nanny that the Banks family really needs. They need some help. They’re struggling and so Mary Poppins comes in to save the day,” said Tonja Rainey, CYT artistic director.

Actor Nic Elliott plays Bert in the play and said, “There’s a few scenes that just — that just mean a lot. You know, they’re just really — they’re different. Like, they’re deep. It’s like aw, that’s so good. That’s so good, but I can’t give it away. You have to come see it.”

Rainey said it’s a magical production.

Some shows have already sold out, and limited seating is available. Act fast for seats, she said.
