The Phoenix Theatre Company Presents Mary Poppins

(PHOENIX, October 7, 2026) The Phoenix Theatre Company presents Cameron Mackintosh and Disney’s Mary Poppins, with performances running November 18, 2026 – January 3, 2027, in the Dr. Stacie J. and Richard J Stephenson Theatre. 

Based on the books by P.L. Travers and the classic Walt Disney film, Mary Poppins is a feel-good musical that is fun for all ages! When the Banks family is in need of a miracle, a practically perfect nanny arrives with a magic carpet bag and an extraordinary gift for turning the ordinary into the unforgettable. This beloved stage musical brings the iconic story to life with spectacular songs, dazzling stagecraft, and a little bit of supercalifragilistic magic.   

With fan-favorite songs like “A Spoonful of Sugar”, “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” and “Step in Time”, audiences will experience the age-old story of connection and sharing joy with the ones you love, leaving them with a lesson learned – with some positivity and perseverance, there is no problem that can’t be solved! 

The production is directed by Larry Raben, with music direction by Kevin Robert White, and choreography by Lauran Stanis. 

“Mary Poppins, for the two of you on this planet that have never seen the Disney film, is based on a beloved set of children’s novels by P.L. Travers. It tells the story of a household in disarray. The father is very disconnected from his children’s lives, and his wife is a former theater actress doing her best to find her new footing in society and help raise her kids. But she is convinced that she needs to have a nanny to do it properly. The miracle of the whole thing is that the unlikeliest of nannies, Mary Poppins, answers a letter that the kids write asking for help then tear up and put into the fire in the chimney.” said Raben. 

“When you get a script like Mary Poppins, what do you approach first? I want heart, humanity and humor. I have made it my mission to take the very best of what the artistic process can be, and to spend that time in creation of a show. In that way, it should always be fun.”
