Leading the cast in her North Carolina Theatre debut is Broadway sensation Kara Lindsay as everyone's favorite nanny, 'Mary Poppins' alongside Nicolas Dromard.

Based on the popular Disney movie of the same name, Mary Poppins tells the story of a mysterious English nanny sent to straighten out the children of the Banks family. The young nanny takes the children on a series of adventures while solving their problems in the most peculiar ways. A touch of magic and a spoonful of sugar transform the Banks family and teach all of us a lesson or two along the way. 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.
