Mary Poppins!!

On Wednesday we decided to go see Mary Poppins! We bought tickets that day and headed down to the subway in Jamaica and into the city.

(P.S. If you want tickets you can use the code SPMARY on broadway.com or ticketmaster.com and get tickets for $42 instead of $61- those were the cheapest ones and they were in the Mezzanine:)

we got roasted nuts for the show (my favorite city snack) and headed in...

flyin' with Mary

The show is in the New Amersterdam Theatre and it is BEAUTIFUL!

It is one of the older Broadway Theaters (completed in 1903) and has so much more intricate detail than the other theaters I've been to. click here for a little history if you're interested...history

Overall the show was pretty good. I thought the actors were excellent but I was a little disappointed that they didn't include the "laughing scene" from the movie. I think 'cause I had seen Wicked a few weeks before I was wanting the music to be a litter "grander"- for lack of a better word, but that isn't really fair. The show had a fabulous tap scene to "Step in Time" and some great special effects that I don't want to give away. Mary Poppins was "tip top" and we all loved her. We were very glad we went and the kids have talked about it all week, which is always a good sign. James did ask if we could go home with about 4 songs to go, but I think he was just tired because the show time was 8pm-10:45! We didn't get home until after midnight, but it was well worth it to have to drive the kids to school since I let them sleep in :)
