We are thrilled to invite you to the St John’s 2025 College Musical. Get ready to be swept away by the magic and charm of this beloved story as our talented students bring it to life on stage.
In the bustling city of London during the early 20th century, the Banks family is in need of a little bit of magic. Mr George Banks, a stern and work-focused banker, struggles to connect with his two mischievous children, Jane and Michael. Mrs Winifred Banks, their mother, is feeling inadequate as a mother and wife and struggles to keep a suitable nanny to help her family's household. With their household in disarray and their nannies constantly fleeing from the chaos, the children write a letter requesting the services of a new nanny. In response to the children's letter, Mary Poppins arrives on Cherry Tree Lane, descending from the sky with her umbrella in hand. With her peculiar and mystical ways, Mary Poppins immediately captures the attention of Jane and Michael.
Alongside her friend Bert, a jack-of-all-trades and a charming chimney sweep, Mary takes the Banks children on extraordinary adventures, teaching them valuable life lessons through whimsical experiences. As Mary works her magic on the Banks family, she also touches the lives of those around her, including the suffragette Mrs Banks and the beleaguered bank clerk, Mr Banks. Through song, dance, and enchanting adventures, Mary helps the family rediscover the joy of being together and the importance of love, imagination, and empathy.
Despite facing challenges from the rigid expectations of society and the pressures of daily life, the Banks family learns that with a little bit of magic and a whole lot of love, anything is possible. By the end of their journey, the Banks family is transformed, and they realise that the most precious moments in life are the ones shared with those you love.
