Behind the Curtain: Lex Rosenberg as Bert in Mary Poppins

Lex Rosenberg plays the role of "Bert" the chimney sweep in South Bay Musical Theatre's spring 2024 production of MARY POPPINS. In this nine-minute interview, Lex discusses the storyline, how the character of Bert has evolved since being created for the film by Dick Van Dyke, and the playful homage the musical plays to the original source material. We learn what drew Lex to audition for the show, and how the choreography was inspired by the movie's famous "dancing penguins." MARY POPPINS runs May 18 to June 8, 2024 at the Saratoga Civic Theater, 13777 Fruitvale Ave., Saratoga, CA. Tickets are available at SouthBayMT.com or by calling the box office at 408-266-4734.
