"Winds in the east, mist coming in. / Like somethin' is brewin' and 'bout to begin. / Can't put me finger on what lies in store, / But I feel what's to happen all happened before." Bert from Mary Poppins

Wednesday night saw the first rehearsal of the cast for this year's musical, Mary Poppins: The Broadway musical based on the stories of P.L. Travers and the Disney film. And yes, it has all the original songs and lyrics by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman that we know and love.  

The cast, drawn from Columba, John McGlashan College, Trinity College, and Balmacewen Intermediate are raring to go and judging by the talent in the Caroline Freeman Theatre this week, the show is going to be... supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

Imogen H (Year 13) as Mary Poppins and Joseph K (Trinity College) as Bert make a phenomenal pair - they sing, dance, and act - a true trifecta of talent. 

Pencil the dates now! Wednesday 4 June - Saturday 7 June at the Mayfair Theatre in South Dunedin.
