Mary Poppins show is practically perfect in every way!, Jul 30, 2008
reviewer: Elina B. from USA
Mary Poppins is my favorite childhood character. I recently saw this show with my 6 year old son.I have her book and a video. I used to work in the kindergarden, fly on stairs in our home so everybody calls me a real life Mary Poppins.She is magical, beutifull, confident and supercalifragilisticexpialidocous! I always remembered it is not what you do but how you carry yourself. See you soon.Orevuar!

Good Show POORLY RUN THEATER, Dec 13, 2009
reviewer: Jason Miklowcic from USA
The show was good. Second have more engaging than
the first. The theater (mezzanine seats) was run
more like a movie theater than a broadway show
theater. People were allowed in well after the
show began and you had to stand up to let them by.
People in the middle of our row got up early to
leave and it took them a while to get past because
everyone had to stand up to let them by. Not one
staff member said a word to them. Food and drink
was allowed in the theater despite signs up
everywhere saying it was not allowed. The theater
staff was rude and seemed high school age.

We loved it, Sep 13, 2006
reviewer: Sixduffs from NYC
I saw the show in London. I had read the review calling it a "darker version". I have seen that same phrase repeated in US papers.
While it is not as cheery as the Disney movie, it is a great British nanny story. The children are a bit bratty, Mrs. Banks is a real person with feelings and they explain how Mr. Banks got to be a bit distant from the children. The magic is in the show, just keep an open mind and don't expect what you saw in the movie. You will love it.

Loved the October 14th Preview, Oct 15, 2006
reviewer: GB from Horsham, PA USA
We loved the play! Number 17 Cherry Tree Lane is a fantastic set, alternating between the downstairs, the nursery and the rooftop of the house.

We really enjoyed Ashley Brown as Mary and Gavin Lee as Bert, and the Banks children are wonderful. The Mary Poppins in this play has more edge than in the movie, but you still like the character.

Most of the songs from the movie are in the play, with some new material. We especially loved the singing and dancing during Jolly Holiday and Step in Time.

This is not just a darker remake of the movie; some parts are from the movie, other parts of the story are different and reflect what it is like to balance raising a family and careers today. There are some laughs, but this is about the songs and dancing.

We had great seats 4 rows from the stage on the right, and we will see it again with our children. Highly recommend it.

We enjoyed this as much as Wicked, Lion King and Phantom of the Opera, and we love the original movie.
