MARY POPPINS Enters Last Three Weeks At Cadillac Palace Theatre, Closes 7/12

Only three weeks remain to see MARY POPPINS before the beloved nanny packs up her carpet bag, opens up her umbrella and flies out of Chicago. Thousands of theater-goers in Chicago have enjoyed this magical Broadway hit, since the National Tour launched in Chicago on March 11, 2009. MARY POPPINS will play through July 12, 2009 only at the Cadillac Palace Theatre.
