The hidden labor behind the magic of Mary Poppins
In short: Go behind the curtain of a major musical production to see how 62 performers and a dedicated team transform a script into a stage reality.
This documentary by Wellesley Theatre Project students Louis and Nicholas Chiasson captures the intensive three-week Summer Production camp held in 2019. It offers an inside look at the collaborative effort required to produce 'Mary Poppins, Jr.', a production from Disney and Cameron Mackintosh.
The film highlights the specific roles that make live theater possible, featuring work by choreographers Hannah Shihdanian, music director Eric Anderson, Jr., and costume designers Ken Rush and Jennie McGuinness. It provides a rare look at how a cast of 62, along with interns and staff, manage the logistical demands of a large-scale production.
