I only seen clips on the internet of Ashley Brown playing Mary and I think she is ok...but in my opinion something is missing in her performance, but I repeat I have only seen her on clips on the net. I have seen five different Mary's in London and I think the one and only Mary Poppins is and always will be Laura Michelle Kelly, although I adore the current Mary Lisa O'Hare.

If Laura Benanti played Mary, they'd have to change her entrance because she'd never appear.

Posted: 1/28/07 at 9:19amLaura Michelle Kelly definitely nailed Mary in this version. Too bad whatever happened, happened and she didn't get to repeat it here.

Posted: 1/28/07 at 9:24amMarla Schaffel would have been perfect. I was told that she auditioned but lost the role because they wanted a younger actress.

Posted: 1/28/07 at 10:01amerin dilly would have been good also, like said before
#44Who else than Ashley Brown for Mary Poppins
Posted: 1/29/07 at 3:01amEgan is a barrel of bad performances. She would NOT be good in the role.

^Not to mention that she's about to have a baby any day now.
Erin Dilly would be good too. Or they could go for someone newer like Haviland Stillwell.

Posted: 1/29/07 at 3:01pmI just saw her last week and she was ok. The part is a great part and she was good in it but not too great. I would have loved to see Ruthie Henshall in the role.

Although I admit to not being a fan of Egan's, I don't see how anyone could see her as Mary.
Her voice has this.. timber to it that makes it sound deep even when she's singing high. It lacks the warm tone Poppins should have, not to mention I don't find her the least bit charming.
