A Note From The Choreographer and Production Team

Mary Poppins is a beloved show by everyone, old and young. The show is set in the British Edwardian era and it follows Mary Poppins, a magical nanny, as she helps bring together the dysfunctional Banks family by teaching the children (Jane and Michael Banks) important life lessons that they pass onto their parents (George and Winifred Banks).

 

This show is exceptionally challenging, from the scene changes while our cast is performing, to the amount of music in the show that had to be learned. As the choreographer, I also wanted to challenge them with a bit more advanced choreography, and while this took more time for the cast to perfect, they've pulled it off and I'm very impressed and proud of each and every one of them. This group of kids has proved to me time and time again that they can tackle anything we throw at them and they can put on a great show every time. 

 

I'd like to extend an extra big thanks to my fellow production team and our many parent volunteers, without them this show would not be possible. Putting on a musical takes many hours of work and a lot of dedication and these parent volunteers and the production team have showed how dedicated they are to giving these kids the best show we can.

 

Lastly I'd like to recognize our Student helpers. Chloe Mckinley, our stage manager. Chloe has spent many hours working with our Stage Crew and Cast to make our scene changes as smooth as possible, she is always there if anyone has a question and is a very useful source for our cast. Maya Elliot and Cianne O'Connell, our dance captains. I trusted these two as our dance captains since they have many years of dance experience. There had been times I was busy working on something with one group of people and I saw them reviewing our dance numbers with another group and I appreciate that more then anything. Lillian Calkins and Arelya Thibeault, our Props and Costume masters. They both were very helpful in organizing either props or costumes for our cast, and without them it would be a lot harder to locate our props and costumes. Phillippe Jussaume, our sound designer. He is responsible for mixing our mics so you can hear the cast on stage. He has always done an amazing job and we appreciate him so much. And finally, Macy Gabriele and Ian Lee, our stage crew, with direction from our stage manager they are responsible for a decent amount of our scene changes. They are both always on top of their stuff and know when their scene changes are. Now please sit back, relax, and enjoy Mary Poppins Jr!
