Based on one of the most popular Disney movies of all time and the Broadway musical that played for over 2,500 performances and received multiple Olivier and Tony Awards nominations, Cameron Mackintosh and Disney's Mary Poppins is capturing hearts in a whole new way: as a practically perfect Broadway Junior musical!

The jack-of-all trades, Bert, introduces us to England in 1910 and the troubled Banks family. Young Jane and Michael have sent many a nanny packing before Mary Poppins arrives on their doorstep. Using a combination of magic and common sense, she must teach the family members how to value each other again. Mary Poppins takes the children on many magical and memorable adventures, but Jane and Michael aren't the only ones upon whom she has a profound effect. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that "Anything can happen if you let it."

Cameron Mackintosh and Disney's Mary Poppins JR. is an enchanting mixture of irresistible story, unforgettable songs and breathtaking dance numbers. This show is a perfect opportunity to showcase a strong, iconic female performer, as well as unique special effects and illusions.

A Concert/Symphonic Arrangement has been specifically written for use in a concert setting. Generally this means it features a larger, typical symphonic orchestration than what you may find in the show. It is meant to be performed with one or more singers.

We are a Children's Theatre and will be performing this as a class project with a very small budget. We are just wondereing if there are any suggestions of how to handle the special effects in this situation?

I am directing Mary Poppins this year and I have an ensemble cast of K-6th grade. These kids do not read music notes and since they are just ensemble I do not want to give them a script since I have a limited number of scripts. I'd like to know if there is a place where I can just print the lyrics for these kids to practice their songs.

I am wanting to know whether the Show Materials cost of $895 is a one-off payment for an unlimited amount of time or whether there are additional monthly costs etc, as with the adult version of Mary Poppins. For example, We would not be putting a show on at our school until September next year, but are wanting to get an idea of what the script looks like and the music as we would want to get more than a piano working on it. We would be wanting at least a perusal now and to get everything in properly in February next year.



I can't believe there are only two episodes left (!!!), but even more so, I was blown away by the awesome ending of this one. At first, the episode seemed to be wandering along a bit aimlessly, what with Stefan trying to go after Cade by himself and taking Damon out of play. However, things picked up amazingly well, what with a Damon-Stefan-Bonnie v.s. Cade showdown, Kai's continued hilarity and new place of residence, and a wonderfully twisted final reveal.

Cade finally learned not to mess with Elena Gilbert or those who love her. For about the seventeen millionth time, Elena's body was used as a bargaining chip to force a Salvatore to do the unthinkable. But at long last, that smug, not-nearly-scary-enough devil Cade got what was coming to him. In Stefan's attempt to make up for his misdeeds from when he was working for Cade, he refused to allow Damon to help, and in spite of his own mortality, went running to use the knife (again, it's the umpteenth MacGuffin we'd been assured was "the only thing that could kill Cade," but how satisfying to see that it worked!) to destroy his former employer. Of course, we all knew that sticking Damon with a needle wasn't going to work for long, and soon the elder Salvatore returned to assist Stefan, who so needs to learn to invest in the concept of teamwork (it's Season 8, Stefan, really?)

In the middle of a heartfelt chat with Enzo, who adorably encouraged Bonnie to forgive Stefan, Bonnie felt that something had gone horribly wrong and rushed to the scene where Cade had coerced Damon into sacrificing himself to save both Stefan and Elena. An immediately enraged Bon Bon used all of her considerable psychic power to fight back against Cade, but Damon was still ready to allow himself to be sucked into Hell in order to protect his friends. Thankfully, Stefan made good on his former determination, popping back up to dispatch Cade; bye bye Julian/Markos the sequel!
Not only was it badass and amazing to see Bonnie use her powers, Damon invest so deeply in saving his loved ones at the cost of an eternity in agony for himself, and Stefan finally get a win, but I also adored everything Damon had to say about redemption and happy endings in this installment. If the previous episodes' analysis of Stefan's fumbled attempts to better himself despite his Ripper past were disappointing, Damon's speeches in this one more than made up for it.

Also lovely? That Bonnie started to warm slightly to the idea of forgiving Stefan. And that she reacted so strongly at the possibility of losing Damon. It's always very special and precious when we get to see the beautiful friendship between Bonnie and Damon in all its glory.

In fact, the feel-good vibes were going so strong that they even got Stefan to wake up to what a fool he was being regarding Caroline. He returned to his fiancee and they reaffirmed their plans to marry, despite him being a human and feeling so burdened by guilt. This sets everything up perfectly for the famed "June Wedding," yet...could there be another reason why having that wedding might prove convenient to the plot? The ending reveal of the episode suggests this reason, which is confirmed in the preview for next week. Talk about feeling epic!
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door. Kai was off-the-chain fantastically fun to watch, again. From karaoke to tweeting, to dangling solutions for Lizzie and Josie's out-of-control powers in front of Caroline, just to break free and prove once again what a relentless villain he is, Kai owned the screen in each scene. But after being stopping in an attempt to attack the newest Gemini twins by Alaric and Caroline (another sterling example of teamwork, and I'm glad those two are back on the same page), Kai woke up in his worst nightmare. We finally got a BonKai scene, and while too short, it was worth the wait, with Bonnie chaining Kai to a chair in a karaoke bar while Spin Doctors played on repeat, in a new prison world she's created just for him. Obviously (and also hahahaha!), this ensures Kai's eternal suffering, but he wasn't done with his mischief just yet.

Kai informed Bonnie that in killing Cade, the scoobies had only allowed an even more formidable baddie to take over Hell. But who could Kai be referring to, we wondered? A female character, someone the gang had fought before, someone who hated them and wanted revenge? Huh. Were the writers seriously going to do something lame like bringing Sybil back or something? They wouldn't possibly do something so effing spectacular that it boggled the mind, like bring back Katherine, right?

But oh, yeah, triumphant satisfaction was mine as Kai revealed that yes indeed, the original baddest bitch of them all, Katherine Pierce, is now ruling Hell. This sets up quite the phenomenal situation for the final two episodes! I also love how we're going back to the themes and characters of old school TVD in the concluding hours, bringing the series full circle. Genius.

Elsewhere in the episode, Alaric informed Caroline that he's planning to pull a Professor X and start a school for young people with powers that need help learning to cope with their abilities. I love this idea, and it seems like, despite her talent for the world of journalism, mentoring young people in this predicament is a special strength of Caroline's, so it will be interesting to see to what extent she'll be involved with the project.

It's hard to imagine the Emmy, Grammy and Tony winner could become more accomplished than he already is. In 2016 alone, he won numerous Tony Awards for his smash Broadway musical Hamilton, collaborated with Jennifer Lopez, was featured in James Corden's Carpool Karaoke and hosted Saturday Night Live. He also campaigned for Hillary Clinton, released The Hamilton Mixtape and promoted Disney's animated film Moana, for which he composed music. What a busy year.

But Miranda isn't slowing down and taking time off in 2017. He will be producing film and TV adaptations of the fantasy books The Killkinger Chronicle, as well as composing original music for the series, which narrates the adventures of the wizard Kvothe. The film will be based on the first book, and the series will expand its horizons beyond the plots of the books. He also will have the option to participate in a possible stage adaptation.
