Magic Takes Center Stage in Sixth-Grade Musical
The annual spring sixth-grade musical is always a wonderful spectacle, and this year’s production of Mary Poppins Jr. was no different. Students traveled all the way to Six Cherry Tree Lane with Mary Poppins and the Banks family to show the audience the power of family and belief.
In a classic Disney tale, the show follows Jane and Michael Banks, two rebellious siblings who go through nannies faster than their mother and workaholic father can replace them. In comes Mary Poppins, a magical caretaker who takes them on adventures across London with the help of a friendly chimney sweep, Bert. While the children go on their adventures, they help their father rediscover his empathetic side and become closer to his family.
While this story may take place in London, its message reached the halls of BB&N through energetic group dances and powerful ballads. Thank you to Director Jenny Lifson, Music Director Brenda Chien, and the facilities staff for making this memorable musical possible.
