Mary Poppins

This popular musical is Ballina’s final offering for the year. It’s full of colour, great performances and proving to be a great favourite with all.

Sue Belsham has managed to capture the magic, and with Leanne Broadley’s musical direction and Jaime Sheehan’s choreography, has delivered a bright and memorable show.

Leading the cast are two Gold Coast Area Palm awarded performers, Veronica Lovejoy in the title role, ably complemented by Brian Pamphilon as Bert.

The supporting principals are equal to the task with Mike Sheehan, George Banks; Mechelle Anderson, Mrs Banks; Sylvie Peart, Jane Banks; Tom Rutledge, Michael Banks; Melanie Doriean, Mrs Brill and Sam Green, Robertson Ay.

As is the usual practice, there are 2 casts of children, with Summer Robertson alternating as Jane and Lennox Broadley as Micheal.

Kim Sharpe’s costumes light up the stage and add to the wonderful spectacle of the production, while the special effects take the experience to the next level.

With many of the performances sold out make an effort to enjoy this marvellous presentation.
