Sunnyvale Community Players is showcasing its young performers in “Disney’s Mary Poppins JR,” running through March 10 at Sunnyvale Community Theatre, 550 E. Remington Drive.
The show is based on the popular Disney movie and adapted from the Broadway musical that played for over 2,500 performances and received multiple Olivier and Tony award nominations. It features familiar songs like “A Spoonful of Sugar” and new tunes like “Practically Perfect” to tell the story of the Banks children and their magical nanny in early 20th-century London.
