Mary Poppins is the practically perfect nanny who helps us learn to take our medicine with a spoonful of sugar, find the silver lining in every situation, and realize that the winds of change can bring surprise and delight. 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 more than 2,500 performances and received seven Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical. Beloved tunes include "A Spoonful of Sugar," "Step in Time," "Practically Perfect," and "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious."
