By P. L.Travers, Robert M. Sherman, Richard B. Sherman, and Julian Fellows. Stray Cats. Directed by Karen Francis. Boardwalk Theatre, Mandurah Performing Arts Centre, WA. May 8-11, 2025
Stray Cats’ Mary Poppins was a large-scale production with high production values, featuring a huge cast and a lot of colour.
Clever sets, designed by Bronwyn White and Karen Francis, used multiple levels, lots of trucks and clever projections to create a bright, magical world that enchanted the audience. Lots of colour in the costumes - especially in the production numbers, while lighting designed by Tony Gordon and Karen Francis also used colour to effect.
