One of my favorite childhood memories was seeing Mary Poppins for the first time. In fact from the ages five to ten I must have seen the movie over a hundred times. I guess you could say I enjoyed it. Now while I loved the movie I'll admit I'm not the biggest Disney fan in the world. Oh sure the movies were great when I was a kid but as I grew older I guess you could say I outgrew them. Not to mention the thought of turning cartoons into Broadway musicals used to make my stomach turn.
Yes I know Mary Poppins is not like The Lion King or Beauty and the Beast. To be honest I've never seen either one. Well the stage version that is. I finally saw the movie version of Beauty and the Beast a few years ago and against my better judgement I ended up loving it. I guess I'm just a sucker for a happy ending. Anyway because of the work I am in we are often invited to see the shows prior to opening.
That way when people call wanting to know what we thought we can give them our honest opinion. So there I sat at the New Amsterdam Theatre waiting for Mary Poppins to begin. Yes I loved the movie. Didn't mean I was going to like the stage version. Once again I was wrong. I loved the show. Seeing the show made me feel like a kid again. How many shows can do that?
For those of you who think that you have to be a kid to appreciate the show I am proof positive that is not true.
We're all young at heart after all. Now for those of you who have yet to experience the magic that is Mary Poppins then you have come to the right place. As we speak you can tickets to see this beloved musical for prices that are....wait for it...below face value. Be advised that while this offer is good thru November 20, 201 some blackout dates and restrictions may apply. Get your tickets to see Mary Poppins on Broadway. You will love it.
