7. The hilarious plot of No, No, Nanette involves mistaken identity, a blackmail scheme, and lots of high-energy choreography.

After a successful West End debut in London, it moved to New York, where it became Broadway’s 30th-longest running musical and paved the way for other productions. Pictured here are Clara Hirsch Walker and Lex Rosenberg, who play Mary Poppins and chimney sweep Bert, respectively. Photo by Dave Lepori.
4. Lex Rosenberg plays the chimney sweep role that Dick Van Dyke originated in the 1960s Disney film in South Bay Musical Theatre’s May 18 to June 8 production of the musical that comes to the Saratoga Civic Theater. This version of the story by P.L. Travers was co-created by Cameron Mackintosh with original music and lyrics by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman, new book by Julian Fellowes, and new songs and additional music and lyrics by Anthony Drewe and George Stiles. Photo by Dave Lepori.
