Photos: First Look at Hilliard Arts Council's MARY POPPINS

One of the most popular Disney movies of all time is capturing hearts as a practically perfect musical! Based on the books by P.L. Travers and the classic Walt Disney film, Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s Mary Poppins delighted Broadway audiences for over 2,500 performances and received nominations for nine Olivier and seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical. 

Mary Poppins, our annual large stage summer production, is an enchanting mixture of irresistible story, unforgettable songs, breathtaking dance numbers and astonishing stagecraft. The show will feature a large cast of talented actors, singers and dancers hailing from the greater Columbus area and feature lavish costumes, big production numbers, a full pit orchestra, amazing special effects and of course the high-quality community theatre you expect from a Hilliard Arts Council show. The cast and crew are all volunteers, performing for their love of theatre.
