Sing Along

Sing-A-Long Mary Poppins at the Regent

Mary Poppins Sing-Along is a perennial favorite at Regent Theater

Sing-A-Long Mary Poppins brings this Disney family classic back to life! Audiences can celebrate the golden age of movies by enjoying this Oscar®-winning film in the fashion in which it was meant to be seen—a fully restored print in a grand theatrical setting with a state of the art sound system.  In addition, audiences are encouraged to come in costume and to sing along with some of the best-known and most beloved songs in motion picture history (“Spoonful of Sugar,” “Let’s Go Fly A Kite,” “Chim-Chim-Cher-ee,” and, of course, “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,”—to name just a few.)
