P. L. Travers News

Mary Poppins is pretty much a familiar name among parents and children everywhere. Disney's film is the Halmark of popular children's films. However, seeing this as a live theater production is a thrilling experience for young and old. Having seen this gem live onstage three times, I never tire of its popularity and life lessons.

What did our critic think of MARY POPPINS at Crown Theatre? A world of whimsy and magic awaits you at Crown Theatre, with MARY POPPINS floating in holding her umbrella to inject fun and wonder into a night at the theatre. The timeless story- originally a book from Australian born P L Travers before becoming a Julie Andrews classic film- is brought to the stage with charm, adding songs and telling a different story than the one we may be most familiar with. MARY POPPINS is a captivating and charming show, brought to life with wonderful acting, dancing and singing.

Stefanie Jones is wonderful as Mary Poppins.
