Summer Musical

While we also produce a Winter Cabaret and One-Act Play each year, the cornerstone of Upper Room Theatre Ministry is our large summer musical.

Announcing…Upper Room Theatre’s 18th anniversary musical…

One of the most popular movies of all time is capturing hearts in a whole new way…as a “practically perfect” Broadway musical!

Based on the stories of P.L. Travers’ and the classic Disney film, this magical musical is filled with spoonfuls of imagination, heart, and whimsy. You and your family will be swept away by such iconic tunes as “Step in Time, “Chim Chim Cher-ee” and, of course, “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.”

Placing families in the spotlight, you’ll be inspired by the journey of Mr. Banks as he refocuses his attention from neglecting his family with material aims to recommitting to quality time with his loved ones. Plus, you’ll have a “jolly holiday” as Jane & Michael learn valuable life lessons from their unconventional nanny and the lovable jack-of-all trades Bert.

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. But don’t worry if you missed it in New York, because we’re bringing Broadway to Manassas for you next summer!

Mark your calendars now for July 16-21, 2019. Ticket sales begin June 18 and they will surely fly out the door quickly! Be sure not to miss the magic of Mary Poppins, who teaches us that “anything can happen if you let it.”  Auditions will be held May 14-15, with callbacks on May 19.

Started in 2002, our award-winning summer musicals have been playing to sold-out audiences, so don’t miss out!
