Audition Materials

Mary Poppins Read:Jane, don’t stare. And close your mouth, Michael, Michael. We are NOT a codfish. Best foot forward. Spit spot. I’ll stay until the wind changes. Now, run along. Don’t point. And for your information, she is not in the least horrible. When will you learn to look past what you see?

Bert Read:I’ve seen ‘emrunnin’ about chasin’ a kite. Oh, yes you do. “Cause when you walk with Mary Poppins, you go to places you never dreamed of. “Who’s Mrs. Corry?” Mrs. Corry is older than anyone in the world. She talked to William before he went conquering, to Vlad before he went impaling and to Alexander before he weren’t so great.

Winifred Banks Read:If only we could find someone like your old nanny.They were only trying to help. Poor Michael. All he cares about is flying kites. Is it out of the question to do without a nanny? Mary Poppins, perhaps you could keep the children occupied in the nursery tonight?

George Banks Read: But-oh, take it up with Mrs. Banks. She manages all that side of things. Nothing domestic has anything to do with me. And don’t forget the references! Don’t be absurd! All the best people have nannies…so the wives can do charity work and entertain. Certainly not! There was no time for hugs and kisses and all that soppy nonsense!

Jane Banks Read: Mary Poppins,how could you know what we wanted in a nanny…when we made our list? How did you come then? It was the wind just blew you here. Oh Daddy! We’ve had a fantastic day! We sang with a busker and danced with a statue! You wouldn’t have approved but-

Michael Banks Read:We’d better keep an eye on this one. She’s tricky. You can’t come with us. You’re too dirty. And we don’t want to go to the stinky park anyway. Jane. Did that really happen? You won’t leave us, will you, Mary Poppins? But we’re not ill! I won’t take it, and you can’t make me!

Mrs Brill Read:And who gets stuck with the children with no nanny in the house? Me! That’s who! Well, good riddance, then. And mind you don’t stumble on your way out! I’d like to be rich. But destiny thought otherwise. All right. I will give you one task and one task only. Put the icing tools next to the cake. Do you think you can manage that?

Northbrook Read:Have you come to your decision, Mr. Banks? There’s a town of good people whose future depends on you. Give us this chance. The factory could be running and expanding before the year’s out. Please, Mr. Banks. I’d give it everything I’ve got! No. We’re done, and no man should be too busy for his own children.

Mrs. Corry Read: And how is poor little George? Georgie Banks. Your father. He used to give his nanny the slip and come into my shop here in secret. I remember Georgie used to love my gingerbread stars. I’m out of conversations, and I’m right out of words, too. Oooh, I do have some letters.
