Mary Poppins (Soprano, 25 - 35)
a pretty young woman, a nurturing mother and a wise old woman, all in one - a magical and mysterious woman who appears just when she is needed most
Bert (Baritone to G, Cockney Accent, 30s)
Manly but warm. Inexplicably has a variety of occupations - match man, pavement painter, chimney sweep, hurdy gurdy player. A friend of Mary Poppins who is always nearby to watch the children and observe the goings on in Cherry Tree Lane. A song and dance man.
Mr. George Banks
a severe, serious banker who "runs a tight ship" both at work and at home. We can see he loves his children although he is very strict. He softens over time.
Mrs. Banks
a valiant and fervent soufragette and feminist with a hectic schedule
Jane Banks
the daughter
Michael Banks
the son
Miss Andrew
Miss Andrew is Mr Banks' old governess. Although not in the film, Miss Andrew appears in the new stage version. She has a lark called Caruso.

The bird woman
Mrs. Brill, the cook
Admiral Boom
