I just produced and directed Mary Poppins this past April. It was an incredible show to put up and energized our whole school community drawing record crowds and much lasting enthusiasm. My best advice is to not feel compelled to reproduce a set similar to any of the professional shows, like the rotating open/close doll house. The story is so strong and the audience imagination so capable, it works better than I dreamed to venture out of the box. I would be glad to share the "paperwork" you requested if you email me and how we created special effects, statue costumes, etc. We did hire Flying by Foy and they know exactly how to make things optimal in your space for Mary, Bert, and Miss Andrew flying bits. So glad you are doing this show!

Hi,
I'm licensed to put up Mary Poppins fall of 2015. I know High Schools around the country have already produced the show. Does anyone have paperwork they would share with me? I.e. prop list, shift plot, rehearsal schedules, costume plot, set plot, etc. Your generosity would be most appreciated as I work on the show over the summer. Also, any leads or suggestions on the magic tricks and prop rental for the show would be appreciated too. Thank you sharing!
