DANBURY — Musicals at Richter will conclude its 2019 offerings with Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s Mary Poppins Jr, performed by students from its Summer Youth Musical Theater Workshop.

Staged on the grounds of Richter House Arts Center, 100 Aunt Hack Road in Danbury, performances are scheduled for 8 pm Thursday through Saturday, August 15-17.

Adapted from the award-winning Broadway musical and beloved Disney film, Mary Poppins Jr introduces its audiences to the Banks family in 1910 London as their world is turned upside down by new nanny Mary Poppins.

Using a combination of magic and common sense, Mary Poppins must teach the Banks family members how to value each other again. She takes the children on many magical and memorable adventures, but Jane and Michael aren't the only ones upon whom she has a profound effect. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that "anything can happen if you let it."
