Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious: A Musical Adventure For The Entire Family

Based on the books by P.L. Travers and the Classic Walt Disney Film Mary Poppins, the musical delighted Broadway audiences during more than 2,500 performances and received nominations for nine Olivier and seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

The beloved story begins with Bert, a jack-of-all trades, welcoming the audience to 1910 England and the troubled Banks family. Everyone's favorite, practically-perfect nanny, Mary Poppins, arrives to lead a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious musical adventure. Using magic and common sense, she teaches the family how to value each other again. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that "Anything can happen if you let it."

The original music and lyrics by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman includes the timeless favorites “Jolly Holiday,” “Step In Time,” “Feed The Birds” and “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.” New songs and additional music and lyrics include “Practically Perfect” and “Anything Can Happen” and are by the Olivier Award-Winning British team of George Stiles and Anthony Drew. With a book by Julian Fellowes, Co-Creator Cameron Mackintosh has delivered an enchanting mixture of an irresistible story, unforgettable songs, breathtaking dance numbers and astonishing stagecraft.
