Last night was our 5th play in the 2011-2012 season of Broadway Across America. We saw Mary Poppins. My mother-in-law was super excited to see this one. I was a little reserved. I didn't think Beauty and the Beast translated so great to the stage, so I was curious how this one would pan out.
I would say I liked it, but I didn't LOVE it. It was pretty different from the movie, but I've read it takes some elements from the children's stories that didn't make it in the movie. I liked that it was a little different because it kept it interesting. There were also a few musical numbers that were incredible - just really showcased the talent of the entire cast. My favorite was probably 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious'. However, I think it was too long and there was just too much singing. Yes, I realize I was at a musical, but it was almost ALL singing. So that being said, by the end, I was ready for it to be over, but I did enjoy the majority of it.
Anyone else see it?

I've been dying to see Mary Poppins forever, but I missed it when it was here in LA. Hopefully next time!
I just saw Mary Poppins yesterday, and I think the cast was amazing but Adams performance (especially Step in time) was just out of this world… he is an amazing performer ..
