I had heard about LMK taking over Mary Poppins but hadn't heard about Christian Borle taking over for Bert. What do you guys think of the casting? I am definitely taking a return trip just to see LMK.

"and LMK..well, she IS Mary Poppins!!!"

Julie Andrews will ALWAYS be Mary Poppins!

I've only liked Christian Borle in one thing I've seen him in...On The Town at City Center. I hope he does well in this though.

I'm sure Christian will be great in MP, altho' to me---he'll always be Prince Herbert!

Christian is absolutely brilliant. Anyone who saw Peter and the Starcatchers...and anything else he's EVER done knows this and I'm thrilled beyond belief that he's doing this show. It's about time someone used his dancing skills!

Christian is a comedic genius, a brilliant dancer, and a beautiful singer and I'm so happy for him.
