Tonight Audrey and I were able to see the Best of Broadway production of "Mary Poppins". It was FABULOUS! And our seats were nothing to sneeze at either. On the day they sold single tickets, I went down to the arena and got Row B, center. Amazing. We could see them sweat : )The story line was more complex than the movie and there were new songs performed. We enjoyed the various special effects that were introduced such as Mary floating up & away with her umbrella or the ability to transport the audience to the imaginary park scenes. Also, the Bank's house on Cherry Tree Lane weighed 5 tons and was the biggest and most complex automated set found on Broadway. But the coolest special effect was when Bert & fellow chimney sweepers started tap dancing to "Step in Time" and the next thing we knew, they were tap dancing and walking up the sides of the stage...until they were literally tap dancing upside down from the ceiling of the stage.
What a wonderful night!!
