MARY POPPINS Flies to Playhouse Merced This Fall

By:

One of the most popular Disney movies of all time is capturing hearts in a whole new way: as a practically perfect musical! Based on the books by P.L. Travers and the classic Walt Disney film, MARY POPPINS is a perfect holiday musical for the entire family. Even grown ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that "Anything can happen if you let it."

MARY POPPINS stars opera-singer Jenni Samuelson in the title role, Colton Dennis as Bert, Marit Medefind as Mrs. Banks, Ronald Daily as Mr. Banks, Miori Kennedy as Jane, and Spencer Brown as Michael.

Directed by artistic director Rob Hypes, with musical direction by Dennis Brown, and choreography by Deborah Fauerbach.

MARY POPPINS opens Friday, November 20 and plays for four weekends through Sunday, December 13. Tickets prices are $10 (students) and $15 - $22, depending on section. Show times are Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. You may purchase tickets by going online to www.playhousemerced.com, by calling (209) 725-8587, or visiting the box office at 452 West Main Street in downtown Merced, Tuesday through Saturday from 1-5 p.m. Rated: A for All Ages.

MARY POPPINS celebrates Playhouse Merced's 22nd season in its downtown theater location. Playhouse Merced is a community-based, non-profit, 501(c) 3 organization seeking to entertain, educate and enlighten audiences. For more information, visit www.playhousemerced.com.
