MARY POPPINS FLIES HIGH AT PAPERMILL PLAYHOUSE
Mary Poppins flies high once again in Paper Mill Playhouse’s latest musical. Replete with spectacular choreography (Denis Jones) meticulously and beautifully executed by a nimble cast, dexterous direction (Mark S. Hoebee) this is family fare that captivates.
Based on author P.L. Traver’s books and the 1964 Disney classic award winning movie musical set in London at the turn of the century centers on the Banks family. George (Adam Monley), his lovely wife Winifred (Jill Paice), and their rambunctious children Jane (Abbie Grace Levi) and Michael (John Michael Pitera) who run through nannies like a newborn and diapers. George is a strict hard working investment banker. Winifred is making her way through higher London society after leaving the West End spotlight for marriage. Jane and Michael write an advert for a nanny which is magically answered by Mary Poppins (Elena Shaddow). The children want their parent’s attention.
