Disney’s Mary Poppins in Concert Live to Film

Get ready for high-energy fun as Disney’s five-time Academy Award®-winning film comes to life on the big screen! Meet Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews), a magical English nanny who flies out of the breezy London skies and into the home of two mischievous children and the hearts of their family. With the help of a carefree chimney sweep Bert (Dick Van Dyke), the spirited nanny turns chores into games and every day into a “Jolly Holiday.” Featuring favorites like “A Spoonful of Sugar,” “Chim Chim Cher-ee,” and the unforgettable “Super-cali-fragil-istic-expi-ali-docious” – you’ll hear the Sherman Brothers’ complete score performed live in all of its splendor.
