It really was practically perfect! ☂️🐧🪁

Orange Lutheran High School's Mary Poppins is Sweeter than a Spoonful of Sugar!
written by Brooke Metoyer, a senior at Mission Viejo High School

Mary Poppins at Orange Lutheran is a timeless tale of a dysfunctional family that is aided by a magical British nanny and her friends. Through adventure, song, and a proper amount of fun, the family is brought back into a state of harmony and lasting love.

Poised and proper, Lindsay O'Leary as Mary Poppins strolls on stage with a pristine smile and consistent British accent. O'Leary navigates each number with impressive vocals and class- gliding ever so elegantly during Jolly Holiday and posing with a signature pointed toe. With picturesque precision, O'Leary delivers a practically perfect performance.

Juliana Zonni as Mrs Corry bounces on stage, bursting with vitality and delight. Zonni masterfully uses grand gestures and a sing-song tone when interacting with her fellow castmates; accentuating her character's flair for the dramatic. As the children choose letters for their conversation, she squeals with excitement and claps her hands in effervescent joy. Even during group dances, Zonni adds a bit of pizzazz in the form of a smirk or additional shoulder shimmy, never breaking character.

A pair of twins, Brianna and Michaela Cupsa, enchant with their extraordinary harmonies as the Bird Women. Arm in arm donning forlorn smiles, the two take slow steps as they sing the ever recognizable Feed the Birds. The theater swells with their melodic tune, the actors on stage grin and the actresses ground the fantastical show in a breathtaking reality.

With a stocky walk and gruff voice, Melkie Sherman animates the punctual Admiral Boom. Sherman makes every scene count, begrudgingly checking his pocket watch or standing with frustrated hands on his hips- always a hilarious delight on stage.

A variety of quick changes inspired makeup designer Jamison Early to create designs that could be applied and removed with efficiency- notably the aging makeup observed on the Bird Women, George Banks, and Miss Andrews. Furthermore, Early collaborated with costumes so that each actor's makeup look would work in harmony with their ensemble. A prime example is Annie and Fannie's orange and blue makeup and outfits. Each girl has monochrome eyeshadow and lipstick to match their frilly dresses- brilliantly distinguishing them as both sisters and the daughters of Mrs Corry.

Through lovely performances and effective tech, Orange Lutheran's Mary Poppins offers the enduring reminder that a touch of fantasy can liven any situation.
