Hair and Makeup Instructions

MAKEUP
All performers need to have basic stage makeup applied before coming to dress rehearsals and
performances.  Take some time to teach your performer how to apply makeup, this way he/she
can take care of his/her self for dress rehearsals and maybe then feel confident enough for
performances.  Create a bag for your performer’s makeup to keep with his/her costume.

 Basic stage makeup includes the following (boys and girls):

• Foundation and powder (not too heavy)
• Blush
• Brown Eyeliner and mascara
• Cherry Lipstick

We do not have people available to apply makeup for the full cast. Unless told otherwise, all
performers need to come with basic makeup applied as explained above.


In addition to basic make up the following roles will need additional makeup.

Mrs. Correy's talking shop:

• Colored eyeshadow, circles or designs on cheeks. (photos attached for ideas)

Winifred and George:

• make up will be provided to give the appearance of old age (photos attached)

Sweeps:

• Soot/dirty face (photo attached) 

Statues:

• Silver make-up will be provided 

HAIR
Please find the instructions for hair below (by role):

All girls playing a child: Hair half up, curled, and with a ribbon

All sweep girls: Hair in a low bun with a hat

All other girls: updo from the 1910s (photo attached for ideas) 

All boys: hair parted and slicked back

 

TICKETS to Mary Poppins, Jr.

After amazingly successful ticket sales last year, we are excited to return to the online ticketing

process offered by Ticketleap again this year, which allows for assigned seating during purchase. Yay!  

No more standing in line for hours!  We hope this information will help you have the best experience
possible with this online ticketing process.  

Tickets will go on sale Wednesday, February 27th at 6:00PM.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Go to the following website:  https://rosecrest-performance.ticketleap.com/mary-poppins-jr/
• Choose the show time you wish to attend and click GET TICKETS.
• For most devices, you have two options from the next screen.   On the left, you can select the section you wish to be placed in from a drop down menu.   On the right, you can select “Choose Your Own Seats”.  “Choose Your Own Seats” is the best option if you want to be able to specify where you want to sit.  Look carefully for this option.
• Different devices have different capabilities with the website.  Some devices cannot select seats individually and seats will be selected for you based on what is still available (seats are prioritized front to back with preference to the middle aisle).  Most browsers for desktop computers have the capability to self-select seats, so order tickets from a desktop if this is important to you. A map of the cafegymatorium is below to help you determine which section to choose if you can select a section, but you are unable to select a seat.
• Wheelchair accessible seats are available.  If this is your need, please look for these sections.   Please leave these seats available for our patrons who need accommodation, unless no other seat is available.  The larger cost for wheelchair seats covers the three chairs next to the wheelchair seat.  This ticket allows up to four to enter.
• Your printed ticket will allow you entrance into the show, so you must PRINT and present your ticket at the door.

Thank you for your patience as we continue to use this awesome new system for ticketing. Remember to share this link with your friends and family so they can come enjoy our show!

COSTUMING

Here are some of the costuming details for Mary Poppins.  In most cases, costumes can be pulled together from items you have at home or that you can borrow from friends and family.  You may need to purchase a few items (Savers and DI are great for this!). In some cases, we will be purchasing some coordinating items to use in addition to what you put together at home.  We have indicated this on the costume description so you can set aside that amount and budget accordingly. Mariann Lucy has created a pinterest board that may be helpful to some as you are putting together costumes.  (You can find it here: https://www.pinterest.com/misslucy0531/mary-poppins-musical/ ).

If you do not find details here for your costume, it means that I think Mrs. Lucy has communicated with you directly.   If this is not true for you, please contact me ASAP for direction (Mary Ann Fuhriman 801-502-3661, call or text).

We will have a costume check on Thursday, February 21st.
