Singers Needed for "Mary Poppins" Musical

Jane and Michael Banks's new nanny. She is extraordinary and strange, neat and -dy, deligh`ully vain yet par-cular, and some-mes a li6le frightening but always exci-ng. She is prac-cally perfect in every way and always means what she says. A mezzo soprano with strong top notes, she should be able to move well. She can have a more tradi-onal soprano sound, but precision and dic-on is the key. Vocal range: Gb3 to C6

The narrator of the story, is a good friend to Mary Poppins. An everyman, Bert has many occupations, including hurdy-gurdy player, sidewalk artist and chimney sweep. Bert watches over the children as well as the goings on in Cherry Tree Lane. He has charm, speaks with a Cockney accent and is a song-and-dance man. Vocal range: B2 to F#4

The father to Jane and Michael Banks, is a banker to the very fiber of his being. Demanding "precision and order" in his household, he is a pipe-and-slippers man who doesn't have much to do with his children and believes that he had the perfect upbringing by his nanny, the cruel Miss Andrew. His emotional armor, however, conceals a sensitive soul. A baritone, George may speak-sing as necessary. Vocal range: Bb2 to Eb4

George's wife and Jane and Michael's mother. A former actress, she is loving and distracted homemaker who is busy trying to live up to her husband's desire to only associate with "the best people" as well as be the model wife and mother. She suffers from the conflicting feelings that she's not up to the job of "being Mrs. Banks," yet, she is, and more. She has great warmth and simplicity to her tone. Vocal range: A3 to D5

The high-spirited daughter of Mr. and Mr. Banks, is bright and precocious but can be willful and inclined to snobbishness. Vocal range: A3 to F#5

The cute and cheeky son of Mr. and Mrs. Banks. Excitable and naughty, he adores his father and tries to be like him. Both he and Jane misbehave in order to get the attention of their parents. Vocal range: A3 to E5

The housekeeper and cook for the Banks family. Overworked and harassed, she's always complaining that the house is understaffed. Her in-mida-ng exterior is a cover for the warmth underneath. Mrs. Brill doesn't have a high opinion of nannies in general and Mary Poppins in par-cular. She does not have to be a strong singer. Vocal range: F#3 to D#5

The houseboy to the Banks family. Lazy, sleepy and grumbling, he never gets things right and believes himself to be useless. He doesn't do a lot of singing, but his "Spoonful" solo can be a fun surprise. Vocal range: F3 to G#4

The head of the bank where Mr. Banks is employed, is an Edwardian stuffed-shirt. He can speak/sing his lines if necessary. Vocal range: C3 to D4

Covered in a patchwork of old shawls, and her pockets are stuffed with bags of crumbs for the birds. She tries to sell her crumbs for the birds. She tries to sell her crumbs to passersby, who ignore her as if she doesn't exist. Sings "Feed the Birds." There can be a gruff, folksy quality to her voice that reflects the hardness of her life. Vocal range: Gb3 to C5

George's overbearing and scary nanny. With her bo6le of nasty-tas-ng brimstone and treacle to keep naughty children in line, she is a bully who only knows one way of doing things - her way. A soprano with an alto belt, there can be some heaviness to her voice along with range. Vocal range: Gb3 to F5

A re-red Royal Navy man and neighbor of the Banks family. A physically large man with a loud and booming voice, he speaks in Navy jargon and has a som spot for his neighbor, Miss Lark. Can be any vocal range as needed. If Admiral Bloom doubles as the Banks Chairman, he can be a baritone.

Uniformed and officious, he makes sure no one breaks park regula-ons. His life is defined by rules, but he secretly hankers amer his childhood.

The statue of a young child posed with a dolphin in the park. Neleus was separated from father, Poseidon, and misses him very much.
