Anyone have an idea of which children perform which day?

yup, she was great. i happen to like her mary better than her belle, though

but anyway - if anyone goes to the show tonight, come back and tell us whether ashley performed or whether she was out sick...

I went to the 11/9 show too and it was my first time seeing it...I didn't notice a THING (except I felt that Michael G's performance seemed a bit off..but still cute of course)...incredible-Ashley sounded "practically perfect" to me and if she was sick....she hid it amazingly well! I was hoping to catch her at the stage door, but she didn't come out-now I know why, I guess!

well if it was your first time, i can't imagine you'd notice anything out of the ordinary. i have seen it 4 times and definitely noticed a couple glitches...MATTHEW gumley is adorable, yes. he is actually my favorite 'michael'

My friend sends me the Playbills from all of the shows he sees. I just received a few from him and the "Mary Poppins" Playbill is a "Showbill". This is the 1st time I have seen this. Is this special for this show? Is this what they call Playbills in London?

I saw this show on 9/10 and Ashley did that show as well. If she was sick, it didn't show! :)

I did watch for the banister slide-up because of having read this thread, and it did occur while the cage was going down. She also flew down during the kite sequence, so all was fixed.

The cancellation line (perhaps because it was a Friday) was loooong. We were the first ones there at 5:00 and didn't get tickets until 7:48. Luckily, they were fourth row center. But only one other pair of tickets came out after ours. Most of the line was left with no tickets.

I enjoyed the show! It's Disney - I knew what I was getting and had fun.
