The Arts Club has done it again…their musical production of Mary Poppins<\/a> is a foot stomping, hand clapping, sing-a-long show of perfection. \u00a0The 2013 cast of Mary Poppins has returned to the Stanley Theatre. \u00a0While the kids have sprouted – Jane (played by Kassia Danielle Malmquist) is nearly the size of Mr & Mrs Banks – their voices have matured beautifully and their confidence on stage is fantastic.<\/p>\n

The standing ovation belongs to Sara-Jeanne Hosie for her portrayal of Mary Poppins. \u00a0She beautifully blends the kind and caring aspects of Mary Poppins with the no nonsense demeanour that even Michael (played by Graham Verchere) comes to love by the end of the performance. \u00a0Ms Hosie’s voice is beautiful and when paired with her precise movements, turned out feet, and spot-on elocution she becomes practically perfect in every way.<\/p>\n

Song favourites like Let’s Go Fly a Kite, Step In Time, and A Spoonful of Sugar are\u00a0heaps of fun to watch. \u00a0The kids were clapping their hands and bouncing in their seats. \u00a0Speaking of seats, I need to send out a big thank you to the Arts Club for their provision of FREE booster seats for the smaller audience members. \u00a0It was lovely being able to watch the show without having to try and see around my kid’s large noggin.<\/p>\n

All of the performers in the Arts Club’s production of Mary Poppins deserve a shout-out. \u00a0There isn’t a weak cast member on stage. \u00a0Everyone commits fully to their character, they all seem to love the show, and their enthusiasm is infectious. \u00a0There are consummate professionals.<\/p>\n

For anyone who attended the performance last year, you know you are in for a treat. \u00a0It is clear many are eager to see the show again as there are already 15 SOLD OUT SHOWS! \u00a0If you need one final Christmas gift, you won’t go wrong giving a loved one the opportunity to see a show that pleases the young and old alike. \u00a0The Arts Club production of Mary Poppins runs until January 4th, 2015.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
