The holiday season is about to become even more magical in Palm Springs with the upcoming presentation of Mary Poppins at the Palm Canyon Theatre, running from November 29 through December 22, 2024. This enchanting musical invites audiences into the beloved world of Disney's most iconic nanny, promising heartwarming family fun and a delightful splash of holiday cheer.

Under the direction of Derik Shopinski, along with choreographer Nathan Wilson and music director Tim Reed, this production feels as magical as a ride on Mary’s flying umbrella. Shopinski expresses, “This show isn’t just a story; it’s a joyous celebration of the extraordinary moments in our daily lives. We want everyone to walk away feeling lighter and more hopeful—like they’ve just floated into the clouds.”

The exceptional cast, featuring Se Layne as Mary Poppins and Luke Rainey as Bert, delivers mesmerizing performances that bring London’s rooftops to life. Eric Stein-Steele and Jenne Carey shine as George and Winnifred Banks, while young talents Lawrence Hatch and Reagan Kaminsky enchant as their children, Michael and Jane. With a vibrant ensemble, stunning costumes, and dazzling visual effects, this production promises an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages.

Audiences can look forward to timeless songs like “A Spoonful of Sugar” and “Chim Chim Cher-ee,” complemented by breathtaking sets and lighting designed by J.W. Layne, intricate costumes by Shopinski, and imaginative projections by Nick Edwards. The result is a show that’s as delightful and whimsical as Mary herself.

Running Thursdays through Sundays, Mary Poppins offers a wonderful opportunity to escape into a world where “anything can happen if you let it.” As Mary Poppins herself might say, it’s “practically perfect” for the holidays.
