FLAHS brings beloved Disney classic 'Mary Poppins' back to life

Some theater productions are well-known to theater enthusiasts, but perhaps not to the general public. That’s not the case when it comes to the musical the theater department at Forest Lake Area High School is presenting starting this weekend.They have taken on the challenge of producing and performing one of the best-known Disney films in “Mary Poppins: The Broadway Musical,” which is based on the iconic 1964 production that won five Academy Awards and remains an enduring pop culture icon.The musical follows a magical, practical-perfect nanny named Mary Poppins, who arrives in 1910 London to mend a dysfunctional, work-obsessed family through wonder, music, and joy.High school choir director John Guidry, who is also the director for the performances, said he chose “Mary Poppins” because of the ways it speaks to the challenges of family life.“It speaks to wanting to take stock of what is truly important,” Guidry said.
