Fourteen Rotorua children are getting ready to hit the stage this weekend as part of the cast and crew for Mary Poppins – The Broadway Musical.

Following a series of auditions last year students from several local schools, including John Paul College, St Mary’s Catholic School and Rotorua Intermediate were chosen to perform onstage or work behind the scenes on Rotorua Musical Theatre’s production of the Disney classic.

Samantha Carter (15 years, John Paul College) and Mitchell Jones (14 years, John Paul College) were chosen to be part of the children’s ensemble, and both already have 4 and 5 shows respectively under their acting belts.

“The best thing was working with a huge adult cast for the first time. The talent is crazy and makes me want to work so much harder. I can’t wait for the shows to begin,” says Samantha.

During the past two weeks Rotorua children have been given the opportunity to win a VIP family experience to the opening matinee by completing a colouring competition. More than 220 entries were received and judges chose their favourites from the two age categories.

Winner 8 years and under Lotti Tarplett

Lotti Tarplett (7 years, Glenholme School) won the 8 years and under category with her colouring with her picture above. While Sara Smith (9 years, Malfroy School) won the 9-13 category, with her picture below.

“I really wanted to see Mary Poppins and I can’t believe I have won! I am looking forward to getting photos with the cast” said Lotti.

This limited season of Mary Poppins – The Broadway Musical will offer 12 shows at the Rotorua Energy Events Centre between 11 - 24 March 2018. A range of seating and family concessions are available through www.ticketmaster.co.nz
