Mary Poppins soars into Philly later this month!

Mary Poppins herself soars into the Academy of Music from March 23 to April 17 as the next production in the Kimmel Center’s Broadway Series.

The adventures of the Banks children, the practically perfect Mary Poppins and a genial chimney sweep named Bert have enchanted audiences since the iconic Walt Disney film starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke was released in 1964. The stage production opened on the West End and then Broadway to critical and commercial success.

Now, Mary Poppins comes to Philadelphia for a spell, singing songs such as “Spoonful of Sugar,” “Chim Chim Cher-ee,” and of course, the delightful “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.”
The show has been described as a “roof raising, toe-tapping, high-flying extravaganza,” sweeping up 25 major theatre awards around the globe.

Tickets are available online, by phone at (215) 731-3333, or in person at the Kimmel Center box office.
