The Young People’s Theatre production of Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s Mary Poppins has just broken all ticket sales records in the 53-year history of the company – with over three weeks left in the run!
Mary Poppins has been delighting audiences of all ages since it began at YPT November 5th. The show continues on the Mainstage but must close January 6th. Many performances in the regular run are now virtually sold-out. Extra shows however, have been added over the school break – December 26th to January 6th – offering opportunity for the whole family to enjoy Jolly Holiday fun. Click here to view a brief clip from the show.
The 7PM performance on Friday, December 21st will benefit The AFC, a charitable organization that helps Canadian entertainment professionals maintain their health, dignity, and ability to work. Cast members will be accepting audience donations in the lobby after the show, and YPT will match those contributions. Tickets for this performance are still available online or by phone at 416.862.2222 x2.
Mary Poppins is directed by the incomparable Thom Allison and the stellar cast features Jak Baradell, Jewelle Blackman, Kyle Blair, Shane Carty, Jarret Cody, Jessie Cox, Starr Domingue, Kyle Golemba, Aisha Jarvis, Hailey Lewis, Jordan Mah, Jade Repeta, Vanessa Sears (as Mary Poppins), and Sarah Lynn Strange . The Creative Team includes: Musical Director Wayne Gwillim, Choreographer Kerry Gage, Set Designer Brandon Kleiman, Costume Designer Bill Layton, Lighting Designer Jason Hand, Sound Designer William Fallon, and Stage Manager Andrea Baggs.
