I hate the fact that EVERYTHING has to be jolly for Mary Poppins! I thought the original staging for Jolly Holliday worked fine, cuz I personally thought the choreography and lighting brightened up the scene in the right amount and I just love the contrast between Mary&Bert's colour and the grey statues! Now is just seems like it wants to look like the film w/ the tea and all but somehow not really!
And for Temper Temper... I just LOVE this number, I think the scarier the scene is the mroe effective BUT obviously there are kids so they're gona get scared and cry so they have to change the staging BOO HOO! I personally don't find the original stagingin intimidating enough!
I think they shud keep the original staging and cut out songs from Mr. Bank and somehow make a duet of 'Being Mr/Mrs Banks'!
ANyway, Im so glad Scarlett's returning sadly I havent seen Lisa yet n wont hav the chance to
All That Jazz
