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.
