I saw the show on Tuesday night.
I have never liked Mary Poppins, I found the movie dull and boring, even as a child, and the books never interested me all that much. The only reason I went to the show was because my best friend gave me a ticket as a belated birthday gift, and so I was obliged to go.
It was one of the most magical nights of theatre I've experienced in a very long time. Some of the show doesn't quite work yet, and there is some tightening that needs to happen, and there are perhaps a few too many un-necessary scenes, but overall, I absolutely LOVED it, and many of the effects and little stage tricks are absolutely WONDERFUL.
And don't get me STARTED on "Step In Time" and Mary's end ascension! BRILL.
If you can, DEFINITELY see this show.
(And the orchestra is AMAZING.)
Suzanne: I never use catalogs. I'd rather go in the store and see all the salespeople groveling and sucking up to you.
Julia: Pardon me, I never knew they were so solicitous at the K-Mart.
