Mary Poppins Character List

MARY POPPINS (20s-30’s) Mezzo Soprano, Gb3 – C6: Jane and Michael Banks’s new nanny. She is extraordinary and strange, neat and tidy, delightfully vain yet very particular, and sometimes a little frightening, but always exciting. She is practically perfect in every way and always means what she says. She should be able to move well. She can have a more traditional soprano sound, but precision and diction are key.

BERT (30s-40’s), Baritone, Bb2 – F#4, the narrator of the story, is a good friend to Mary Poppins. An everyman, Bert has many occupations, including hurdy-gurdy player, sidewalk artist, and chimney sweep. Bert watches over the children as well as the goings on in Cherry Tree Lane. A charming and is a song-and-dance-man. Strong dance skills required.

JANE BANKS (8-11), Child Soprano, A3 – F#5, the high-spirited daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Banks, is bright and precocious but can be willful and inclined to snobbishness.

MICHAEL BANKS (8-11), Child Male unbroken, or Female Soprano, A3 – E5 is the cute and cheeky son of Mr. and Mrs. Banks. Excitable and naughty, he adores his father and tries to be like him. Both he and Jane misbehave to get the attention of their parents.

GEORGE BANKS (40’s-50’s), Baritone, A2 – F4, father to Jane and Michael Banks, is a banker to the very fiber of his being. Demanding “precision and order” in his household, he is a pipe-and-slippers man who doesn’t have much to do with his children and believes that he had the perfect upbringing by his nanny, the cruel Miss Andrew. His emotional armor, however, conceals a sensitive soul. George may speak-sing as necessary.

WINIFRED BANKS (40’s-50’s) Mezzo Soprano, G#3 – E5, is George’s wife and Jane and Michael’s mother. A former actress, she is a loving and distracted homemaker who is busy trying to live up to her husband’s desire to only associate with “the best people” as well as be a model wife and mother. She suffers from the conflicting feelings that she’s not up to the job of “being Mrs. Banks,” yet she is, and more. She has a great warmth and simplicity to her tone.

MISS ANDREW (40s-60s) Soprano, E3 – A5, is George’s overbearing and scary nanny. With her bottle of nasty-tasting brimstone and treacle to keep naughty children in line, she is a bully who only knows one way of doing things – her way. A soprano with an alto belt, there can be some heaviness to her voice along with the range.

BIRD WOMAN (50’s+) Alto, Gb3 – Db5, is covered in a patchwork of old shawls, and her pockets are stuffed with bags of crumbs for the birds. She tries to sell her crumbs to passersby, who ignore her as if she doesn’t exist. Sings “Feed the Birds.” There can be a gruff, folksy quality to her voice that reflects the hardness of her life.

MRS. BRILL (40’s-60s), Alto, F#3 – Eb5, is the housekeeper and cook for the Banks family. Overworked and harassed, she’s always complaining that the house is understaffed. Her intimidating exterior is a cover for the warmth underneath. Mrs. Brill doesn’t have a high opinion of nannies in general and Mary Poppins in particular.

ROBERTSON AY (15-30) Tenor, F#3 – G5, is the houseboy to the Banks family. Lazy, sleepy, and grumbling, he never gets things right and believes himself to be useless. He doesn’t do a lot of singing, but his “Spoonful” solo can be a fun surprise. Can be either gender.

MRS. CORRY (30s-60’s) Mezzo Soprano, C4-F#5, owns a magical gingerbread shop. She is a mysterious woman of an unknown age.

MISS LARK (30s-50’s) is the haughty next-door neighbor of the Banks family who treats her dog, Willoughby, as if he were her child. Mezzo soprano.

ADMIRAL BOOM (50s) is a retired Royal Navy man and neighbor of the Banks family. A physically large man with a loud and booming voice, he speaks in Navy jargon and has a soft spot for his neighbor, Miss Lark. Can be any vocal range needed.

KATIE NANNA (20s-30s) is Jane and Michael’s nanny at the beginning of the show. Overwhelmed and upset, she has absolutely had her fill of the Banks children.

NELEUS (10+) Baritone, B2-F#4, is the statue of a child posed with a dolphin in the park. Neleus was separated from his father, Poseidon, and misses him very much. A small and lonely being, he is very happy to befriend Jane and Michael. Can be either gender. Good dancing skills needed.

BANK CHAIRMAN (50s), the head of the bank where Mr. Banks is employed, is an Edwardian stuffed-shirt. He can speak/sing his lyrics if necessary. Baritone.

MISS SMYTHE (40s-50’s) is the Bank Chairman’s humorless secretary.

POLICEMAN (30s-40s) is a neighborhood fixture who is respected by and observant of the households on his beat.

PARK KEEPER (30s-50s). Uniformed and officious, he makes sure no one breaks park regulations. His life is defined by rules, but he secretly hankers after his childhood. Tenor.

VON HUSSLER (30s-40s-either gender) is a businessperson seeking a loan from the bank for a shady business deal.

JOHN NORTHBROOK (30s-40s) is an honest businessman seeking a loan to build a factory for his community. He speaks with an accent from Northern England.

ANNIE and FANNIE (8-18) are Mrs. Corry’s daughters.

VALENTINE (Any Age) is a doll owned by Jane. Strong dancer.

FEATURED TOYS (Children/Teens) belonging to Jane and Michael, including Teddy Bear, Baby Doll, and Mr. Punch. Good dance skills.

QUEEN VICTORIA STATUE: (Female-40+): Small speaking part.
