Mary Poppins a record-setting show for Western Canada Theatre
KAMLOOPS — The Western Canada Theatre production of Mary Poppins that closed last night was the biggest-selling show in the theatre company’s 40-year history, according to General Manager Lori Marchand.
Marchand says many of the shows during the two-week run at Sagebrush Theatre sold out easily and the family-friendly story drew the audience in.
“We certainly knew it would do well; obviously it’s a family favourite,” said Marchand. “You could hear the audience singing the songs. They were trying to do it under their breath. It was very, very fun.”
