MADCAP Theaters goes Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious with a screening of Mary Poppins; with Giveaways to the upcoming Stage Production at ASU Gammage

There is only one word that comes close to accurately describing the enchanting Mary Poppins, and that term was coined by the movie itself: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! And Thursday January 28th, MADCAP Theaters presents a screening of the family favorite at 7pm, tickets are $5 and are available online and at the door.

The first 5 people to buy a ticket to the screening will each get a pair of tickets to come see the stage version at ASU Gammage which runs February 11 to February 28. All other attendees who buy a ticket will be entered to win free tickets to the show at ASU Gammage.

Even at 2 hours and 20 minutes, Disney's pioneering mixture of live action and animation (based on the books by P.L. Travers) still holds kids spellbound. Julie Andrews won an Oscar as the world's most magically idealized nanny ("practically perfect in every way," and complete with lighter-than-air umbrella), and Dick Van Dyke is her clownishly charming beau, Bert the chimney sweep. The songs are also terrific, ranging from bright and cheery ("A Spoonful of Sugar") to dark and cheery (the Oscar-winning "Chim Chim Cher-ee") to touchingly melancholy ("Feed the Birds"). Many consider Mary Poppins to be the crowning achievement of Walt Disney's career--and it was the only one of his features to be nominated for a best picture Academy Award until Beauty and the Beast in 1991.
