Mary Poppins: the Musical

Magic Cake

By: Kinsey Potts

 Mary Poppins
Mary Poppins is the story of the Banks family who live in a big house in London on
Cherry Lane. Things are not going well for the family, the children, Jane and Michael,
are out of control and are in need of a new nanny. Jane and Michael have their own
ideas about what sort of caretaker they should have, while their parents—and in
particular Mr. Banks—are insistent on someone strict for the job. When a mysterious
young woman named Mary Poppins appears at their doorstep, the family finds that
she’s the answer to their prayers, but in the most peculiar way. Mary Poppins takes the
children on many magical and memorable adventures, but Jane and Michael aren’t the
only ones she has a profound effect upon. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two
from the nanny who advises that “anything can happen if you let it.”
