One of the most popular Disney movies of all time is capturing hearts in a whole new way: as a practically perfect musical! Based on the books by P.L. Travers and the classic Walt Disney film, Disney and Cameron Mackintosh's Mary Poppins delighted Broadway audiences for over 2,500 performances and received nominations for nine Olivier and seven Tony Awards, including Best 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 members 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 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."
Mary Poppins is an enchanting mixture of irresistible story, unforgettable songs, breathtaking dance numbers and astonishing stagecraft. This show is a perfect opportunity to showcase a strong, iconic female performer, as well as unique special effects and illusions.

Along the way, they meet a diverse group of local residents and historians, who shed light on the racially complex history of the early Chinese in the segregated South.

Explore the diverse world of dance at the Charlotte Museum of History! Brought to you in partnership with Loose Leaves Legacy, this Dance Around the World children’s program will get young learners and their families on their feet to explore dance styles and cultures from around the world - right here in Charlotte!

Don’t expect to sit still during this interactive program. Participants will be able to move freely throughout the museum to stations that offer a range of hands-on activities specific to each genre! Learn short dance sequences from local dancers and choreographers of a variety of styles, explore the music, costumes, and props that make each dance style unique, and experience the many ways in which dance is used and enjoyed in different cultures! Participants will also enjoy a performance from the featured dancers at the beginning of the program.

About Loose Leaves Legacy

Loose Leaves Legacy is an annual showcase that aims to provide the opportunity for local choreographers who lack the resources to run a company with a chance to present their work in front of an audience. The showcase cultivates choreographic growth and encourages the further development of the community of dancers and choreographers in Charlotte, in addition to providing Charlotte audiences with access to a wide spectrum of choreographic styles and ideas.

The showcase got its name from the idea that all the choreographers are leaves loosely attached to the trunk of the show, that loose leaf paper lends itself to brainstorming, and that ideas brew like loose leaf tea.
