Inland Pacific Ballet will present musical ‘Mary Poppins’ in Rancho Cucamonga

Inland Pacific Ballet, in partnership with the Candlelight Pavilion, will present the Broadway musical “Mary Poppins” March 7-15 at the Lewis Family Playhouse in Rancho Cucamonga’s Victoria Gardens.

The musical, based on the Mary Poppins books by P.L. Travers and the Disney film, follows members of the Banks family of London in 1910 as their lives are transformed by the arrival of Mary Poppins, a “practically perfect nanny.”

The production features dance numbers that blend musical theater with ballet, according to a news release.

Performances are at 1 and 7 p.m. Saturdays and at 1 p.m. Sundays.

In addition, there will be a Friday performance of “Mary Poppins Jr.,” a shorter version of the Broadway musical, that will feature youth performers from Inland Pacific Ballet Academy, according to the news release. That performance begins at 7 p.m. March 13.

Tickets for “Mary Poppins” are $51-$92, available at lewisfamilyplayhouse.com and by calling 909-477-2752. Tickets for the March 13 performance of “Mary Poppins Jr.” are $39.

The 560-seat Lewis Family Playhouse is part of the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center, at 12505 Cultural Center Drive. The box office is open noon-5 p.m. Tuesday-Friday.
