One of the most popular Disney movies of all time is capturing hearts of a whole new generation of audiences as Slow Burn Theatre Company presents Disney and Cameron Macintosh's Mary Poppins in the Amaturo Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts Saturday, March 25 through Sunday, April 9.

Using magic and common sense, she teaches the family how to value each other again. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that "Anything can happen if you let it."

The original music and lyrics by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman include the timeless favorites "Jolly Holiday," "Step in Time," "Feed the Birds" and "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious."
