One of the most popular Disney movies of all time is capturing hearts in a whole new way: as a practically perfect musical!

 

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 how to value each other again. 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 on. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that "Anything can happen if you let it."

 

This production will SOAR with the aid of Flying by Foy, the theatrical flying service. Mary Poppins will be an enchanting mixture of irresistible story, unforgettable songs, breathtaking dance numbers, and astonishing stagecraft.

 

Mary Poppins will be performed on Friday, May 3rd at 7:30 PM, Saturday, May 4th at 7:30 PM, and Sunday, May 5th at 2 PM.

 

The show will be held at The Stadium Theatre, located at 28 Monument Square, Woonsocket Rhode Island.

Trump said the move will create thousands of jobs. Space Command oversees military space operations and the defense of satellites.        The deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles has been found to be a violation of federal law. That's according to a ruling from a U.S. District Judge earlier today. President Trump deployed the troops in response to protests against his immigration operations in the city. Judge Charles Breyer said while individuals engaged in violence during the protests, "there was no rebellion, nor was civilian law enforcement unable to respond to the protests and enforce the law."        Congress has returned after its August recess as lawmakers look to prevent a government shutdown. The annual spending battle will no doubt take up much of the calendar to avoid a shutdown on September 30th. Meanwhile, the House Oversight Committee is holding a private and bipartisan meeting with victims of late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell today.        A Texas man is being accused of murder after allegedly shooting and killing an eleven year old boy who was doorbell ditching in Houston. Leon Gonzalo Jr. was arrested and charged this morning with one count of murder. Police responded to the reported shooting in an east Houston neighborhood Saturday night. Investigators say somebody inside the house came out and shot the boy in the back as he ran away.        Iowa Senator Joni Ernst will not run for re-election in 2026. The Republican announced her decision to not seek a third term in a video released Tuesday. Ernst was first elected in 2014. Democrats will look to possibly flip the seat in the red-leaning state that once was seen as a swing state.        Netflix is giving the next film in the "Knives Out" franchise a theatrical release.
