One of the most popular Disney movies of all time is capturing hearts in a whole new way: as a practically perfect musical! Based on the books by P.L. Travers and the classic Walt Disney film, Cameron Mackintosh and Disney's Mary Poppins delighted Broadway audiences for over 2,500 performances and received nominations for nine Olivier and seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

Thank you for joining us for our joyous HONK!

Discover the Magic of Being Different with HONK! 

Thank you to the terrific audiences who supported our Fall production of the magical "HONK!"—the award-winning musical that enchanted audiences of all ages! Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved tale of “The Ugly Duckling,” HONK! followed the journey of a unique little duckling who finds the courage to embrace what makes them special. 
​

Congratulations to the cast of Mean Girls Jr!

We had a blast this Summer with Mean Girls Jr!  The show was full of fun, great music and terrific performances from these kids!  We can't wait to see them back on the stage for HONK! this fall.

The Lasting Impact of Theatre

ECT makes impacts in the lives of children, builds confidence, friendships and skills that impact their lives!   Read more about the impact of ECT in Elmhurst Magazine's profile for Broadway's (and Elmhurst's) own Anthony Michael Lopez!
