Mary Poppins - The Musical

I didn't actually see this in the UK, I saw it on Broadway at the New Amsterdam Theatre in NYC but I believe it is exactly the same show and actors change frequently anyway. I absolutely love the film and have been to see The Lion King on stage so thought this would be worth going to see. Both are produced by Disney and I think that quality shows through. The action still centres around Mary Poppins, Bert and the Banks family and most of the storyline and songs -with a few add-ins, such as a long version of Super... - are exactly the same as in the film, which I won't go into as I'm sure everyone has seen the film! There are a few differences but ...  Read the complete review

***NOTE*** I tried to suggest a new category for this and after some lengthy email conversations, my review has ended up in this category. Feel free to pass on advice on whether it needs to be moved. This is also a long review :O) I was in New York for my sister's 40th and we decided to take in a day in New York City and catch a musical.

I went to see Mary Poppins in the Kings Theatre in Edinburgh. The tickets were given to me as a gift, so I didn't pay for them, but had been planning on seeing the show (and travelling 2 hours each way to see it!) anyway, so was really hoping for a good night out. I wasn't disappointed!! First of all, I have to admit, I am a HUGE Disney fan, and an even bigger fan of the musicals. I think to pay the amount of money they cahrge for tickets to this, you'd have to be. That, or have small children, although the little boy in front of us actually fell asleep during the 2nd half! I'm not going to write out the full plotline of the show, anyone ...  Read the complete review

I saw this after seeing the theatre production of Disney's Lion King and loving it. Thinking another Disney theatre performance would be just as good, and the fact my Mum and her friend really enjoyed this I thoughtI was going to have a lovely time. I was wrong! This is one of the very few things that I've actually pre-bought tickets for at full price, normally I just go to Leicester Square and see what the deals are and go for something. We had very high seats but we knew this, and they didn't spoil are view, ok so we sometimes just saw the feet of people rather than their whole bodies but for the price increase of being able to see their whole ...  Read the complete review
