BMCA Productions present 'Mary Poppins Jr'. The jack-of-all trades, Bert, introduces us to England in 1910 and the troubled Banks family. Young Jane and Michael have sent many a nanny packing before Mary Poppins arrives on their doorstep. Using a combination of magic and common sense, she must teach the family members how to value each other again.

Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that 'Anything can happen if you let it.'

The venue is wheelchair and mobility aid accessible and support workers/ carers are able to attend for free - please contact auntybananalipsync@gmail.com to arrange for their ticket. You do not have to use this booking system as we accept cash or PayId payments at the door, but there are limited spaces available for each class, so please contact us if you wish to reserve a place but pay at the door. Can't wait to prance and dance with you, dahlings!
