MARY POPPINS Breaks Box Office Records at the FAC

The Fine Arts Center's production of Disney's and Cameron Mackintosh's musical Mary Poppins just surpassed every attendance record at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, having issued more than 7,400 tickets for its four-week run -- and the show doesn't even open until tonight.

"I'm thrilled our audiences can't get enough of that practically perfect nanny" said director Scott RC Levy. "Clearly, the FAC's track-record of high-quality professional theatre productions in combination with the special place in our hearts for this story, has made the level of demand for this production beyond our expectations. "

Mary Poppins, which today surpassed the previous attendance record, set by the 2012 FAC production of A Christmas Story, might represent the most-attended professional theatrical production in the history of the Pikes Peak region.

The show opens tonight, December 12, at 7:30 p.m. and runs Thursdays through Sundays, through Jan. 4.

Only 12 percent of all seats are still available for purchase, mostly for the last weekend.
