Obviously, this has been posted before, but we don't have any thread commemorating its closing today.

RIP, Mary Poppins.

I wonder how long would the Broadway production run? 3 yrs too.. perhaps? 4 or 5? looks like Disney is losing its magic? huh?

The European tour opens in July and is scheduled to run for 3 years! The London production made a lot of money in a big theatre over 3 years and is going out on a high.

A young actress with Noel coward after a dreadful opening night performance said to him 'Well, i knew my lines backwards this morning!'' Noels fast reply was ''Yes dear, and thats exactly how you said them tonight'!'

Can anyone comment on what kind of business Mary Poppins has been doing in London? It seems over here it's still selling quite well and I keep hearing about people going to see it these days (and enjoying themselves).

It'll have a respectable run. I saw Mary Poppins in London and unlike Tarzan and The Little Mermaid, it's actually good in my opinion.

I actually thought that Mary Poppins was a good show - very well put together. I like the show when I saw it last year. I thought it was better then HIGH FIDELITY, PIRATE QUEEN & even LEGALLY BLONDE..

It was a descent show...over all...
