The classic story of a magical nanny comes to life onstage at Manhattan High School, with catchy songs like “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,” “Jolly Holiday,” and “A Spoonful of Sugar.” The Manhattan High School Thespians are going all out with the winter show, “Mary Poppins,” with special effects and a large singing and dancing cast.

“‘Mary Poppins’ is the show that everybody knows, it’s the one most of us have seen,” Virginia Pape, the show’s director, said. “It’s a big cast. It’s been a lot of fun.”

The story follows Jane and Michael Banks, whose mischievous antics have chased off several nannies before Mary shows up at their house on Cherry Tree Lane. Their father, George Banks, a wealthy banker, is distant towards his children. Their mother, Winifred, tries to please her husband and do the best for her children.
