What's Happening Austin -- Mary Poppins, The Review

Zach Theatre has brought Mary Poppins to life in a Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious manner. The cast is talented and I cannot imagine anyone stepping into those high-button shoes better than Jill Blackwood. Not kidding! She is truly practically perfect in every way!

Mary Poppins is Practically Perfect in Every Way!

This production is lush with beautiful sets ever changing to create spaces both real and imagined Mary Poppin-ed. Visually inspired by surrealist artists Magritte and Latifa Echakhch, an extra element of magic is added to this classic tale.More than its stunning visuals, this production has incredible dance numbers. The chorus is so tight that you wouldn't be blamed for mistaking it for a Broadway production. I was very impressed. Whether spelling out that superbly long, quite atrocious word...Or toe-tapping with the chimney sweeps...This show made me happy. You still have time to see it and I highly recommend that you do!
