Quick Casting Insight: Mary Poppins Jr works best when the production balances magical wonder with emotional sincerity. Strong ensemble movement, crisp diction, and believable family relationships matter just as much as vocals.

Bert
Bert serves as narrator, storyteller, chimney sweep, sidewalk artist, and guide throughout the musical. Charming, wise, playful, and energetic, Bert requires one of your strongest triple-threat performers. Strong dance ability and stage charisma are essential.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: B2–F4


George Banks
George Banks is a stern but deeply emotional father who struggles to connect with his children while balancing work and social expectations. The role requires strong acting depth and a performer capable of revealing emotional vulnerability beneath a rigid exterior.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: Bb2–F4


Winifred Banks
Winifred is loving, warm, and often caught between caring for her children and meeting her husband’s expectations. Cast a performer with emotional sincerity and a clean, expressive vocal tone.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: A3–Eb5


Jane Banks
Jane is intelligent, spirited, and occasionally snobbish. The role demands a strong actress and singer capable of showing emotional growth throughout the story.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: A3–Eb5


Michael Banks
Michael is excitable, mischievous, and eager for attention from his father. Cast a performer who feels younger than Jane and can balance humor with emotional honesty.
Gender: Male | Vocal range: A3–E5


Mary Poppins
Mary Poppins is “practically perfect in every way.” Magical, mysterious, poised, and occasionally intimidating, this iconic role requires excellent diction, vocal control, acting confidence, and graceful movement ability. Mary Poppins carries much of the production and should be one of your strongest performers.
Gender: Female | Vocal range: G3–F5


Mrs. Brill

Katie Nanna is the overwhelmed nanny who quits at the beginning of the musical after finally losing patience with Jane and Michael. This is an excellent featured role for a newer performer.
