March 20-30 Mary Poppins
Based on P.I. Travers cherished stories and the classic 1964 Walt Disney film, Mary Poppins features the Sherman brothers original Academy Award-winning songs. The show has been created, in collab- oration with Cameron Mackintosh, by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Julian Fellowes, who has written the book, and the Olivier Award-winning team of George Stiles and Anthony Drewe, who have composed new songs and additional music and lyrics. Mary Poppins marks the first collaboration between Disney, producer of acclaimed The Lion King and Cameron Mackintosh, legendary producer of the record-breaking The Phantom of the Opera, Cats and Les Miserables. The result is a musical so extraordinarily enchanting that, like the crit- ics, you'll have just one word for it: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Mary Poppins is presented by Dallas Summer Musicals. March 20-30, 2013 at multiple times at Music Hall at Fair Park, 909 1st Avenue, Dallas, TX 75210. (800) 982-ARTS (2787).
