The action is set in Truvy's beauty salon in
Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are "anybody" come to
have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle (who
is not sure whether or not she is still married), the outspoken,
wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town's
rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, ("I'm not crazy, I've just been in a bad mood
for forty years"); an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee, who has a
raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader, M'Lynn, whose
daughter, Shelby (the prettiest girl in town), is about to marry a
"good ole boy." Filled with hilarious repartee and not a few acerbic
but humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play can go from high
comedy to deep tragedy. Circumstances call for a sudden
realization of their mortality and how that affects the others. It
also draws on the underlying strength—and love—which give the play,
and its characters, the special quality to make them truly touching,
funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad.

"Somewhere up above, George S. Kaufman, Abe Burrows, Moss Hart and all those clever fellows who wrote the comedies of yesteryear are rolling with laughter, echoing the audience last night at Moon Over Buffalo. The play is nothing less than a love letter to live theater." -Boston Herald

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 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 she has a profound effect upon. Even
grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that
"Anything can happen if you let it."
