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.

 

Admission is $29, $36, $41. Tickets are available at the Stadium Theatre Box Office or by calling 401-762-4545 and online at www.stadiumtheatre.com

Law enforcement officials said more than a hundred people were arrested.        The lawyer who represented the two women at the center of Donald Trump's New York trial is done testifying. Keith Davidson was the lawyer for both playboy model Karen McDougal and adult film star Stormy Daniels. The prosecution claims a 130-thousand dollar payment to Daniels was part of a "hush-money" scheme to influence the 2016 election.        The number of Americans filing for first time unemployment claims is essentially unchanged this week. The Labor Department reports receiving 208-thousand requests for first time jobless benefits, lining up with the revised number from the previous week. Most analysts had expected today's number to come in at around 212-thousand.       It will cost nearly two-billion dollars to reconstruct the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. Maryland Transportation Secretary Paul Wiedefeld told the "Baltimore Sun" and "Washington Post" Thursday that replacing the collapsed structure will come with a preliminary price tag of between one-point-seven-billion dollars and one-point-nine-billion. Wiedefeld also says the new bridge should be complete by the fall of 2028.        Southwest Airlines will be required to offer 75-dollar travel vouchers for certain cancellations and delays. This comes after the company suffered what some call a "holiday meltdown" in 2022. The U.S. Transportation Department announced this week the airline will need to give compensation as part of a deal reached after the incident that "stranded millions of passengers across the country."        The NAACP is partnering with Lyft to help get voters to the polls this November.
