FANTASTIC

If there were more stars to rate, this musical would get them all!!!!! I was bought to my feet at the end of the show and was almost too sad to see the show end. It brought back many of memories of watching the movie! Remove your children from in front of the tube and take them to see this wonderful musical and enjoy the enchanting atmosphere that will bring you and your family closer!!

GREAT SHOW EVEN WITH THE SLIGHT SNAFU AND SCARY TOYS

Loved this show! The sets were amazing. Though at the 10/14 preview there was a slight problem in the beginning with one of the sets... getting pass that was painless and the rest of the show had me in awe. The songs both new and old versions (supercali--- was better than before) were wonderful. The dancing was better than the original. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is the one scene where the toys came alive, scary for kids. I think this one will be a Tony winner for sure! It was a very positive experience in NYC from the train ride there, our restaurant, the Show and back to GC to take the train home.

BEAUTIFUL NEW TAKE ON A MAGICAL MEMORY.

The old saying is stop a show three times and you've got a hit. Well, this one's a smash with four show stopping numbers ("Supercal" and "Just in Time" will have you out of your seats!) In addition there are very fine performances and stunning costumes and sets (if sometimes stubborn. Yes, I was there the night they stopped after Act One, but went back the next night.) My only complaints are poor Rebecca Luker just doesn't have enough to do, and lastly, the show ought to be called "Mary Poppins and Bert," because Gavin Lee simply delivers one of the most brilliant Broadway show stopping turns in a long time.

EXQUISITE SHOW, BUT A SCARY MARY!

I just saw this show last week, on February 23, 2007. Overall, the show is visually breathtaking. It's message is heartwarming, and the cast is brilliant! My only disappointment was Ashley Brown's portrayal of the title role. From her first entrance, I was immediately plagued with visual memories of "The Stepford Wives" and could not erase that mental visual for the duration of the show. Although her singing voice was pure, her dialogue was completely robotic and without any trace of believable feeling. I think I would love the opportunity to see this show with a fresh perspective on the title role.

DELIGHTFUL

Going into it I wasn't sure if I would enjoy it all that much since I am bored by the movie. It turned out to actually be really entertaining. The little boy who played Michael (Henry Hodges) was adorable. the costumes and sets were amazing too. It was a wonderful experience.

THANK YOU , NEW AMSTERDAM THEATRE

We came to the City on July 18, 2007 in a caravan of four buses loaded with Girl Scouts and their families to see the 2:00pm show. We were given our show tickets on the bus before we arrived in the city but by the time we got off the bus I had lost my two tickets to the show. I decided to check with the Theatre box office to see if they could do anything for us and they were wonderful. Since we came with a large group they looked for the empty seats in the area our group was seated, after everyone was seated for the performance. They found them and seated us shortly after the show began. So we didn't miss the opening of the first scene while they located our seats, they allowed us to stand in the back. I want to thank all the employees that were so helpful that day. Just to mention a few, David in the lobby, Andrew in the ticket booth, the usher that seated us and the management staff that solved our self-inflicted problem. We loved the show but will remember the terrific staf

ADULTS BEWARE!

In the Disney fashion, the play was excellently and creatively done. Unfortunately, if you are over 4 foot six inches, I would not recommend the balcony seats. We had front row, upper balcony seats and the seats were so small that I, who am 5' 2", had to kneel for the entire first act. I couldn't get my knees bent and my feet flat on the floor, nor could the 5'2" teenage camp counselor next to me. I have attended other Broadway plays, including the Lion King, and the balcony tickets were perfectly adequate. This was the most uncomfortable theatre experience I have had, and I am grateful that I did not bring my six-foot tall husband with me and my son. Gratefully, some very tall man helped himself to the seats in the balxcony boxes during the second half of the show, and I was able to stand and rest on the seat during the last act.
