Mary Poppins on Broadway

Mary Poppins on Broadway

I went to see the Disney production of Mary Poppins this past weekend and was very pleased. The fairly new Disney play is based on the original Mary Poppins movie from 1964 that starred Julia Andrews and Dick Van Dyke. Mary Poppins is about a magical nanny that flies down from the heavens on her umbrella and comes to help an unhappy banker’s family. 

The broadway play is at the New Amsterdam Theatre in New York City. The production stars Ashley Brown as Mary Poppins and Gavin Lee as Bert in the original broadway cast. Disney added some songs and some additional scenes to the play, but all the original movie songs and scenes were there. Some shocks and surprises happen in this play which leave the audience applauding and cheering. I won’t ruin the surprised, but I will just say that they involve harnesses and straps. 

This play was very good and I recommend it to people of all ages. It is a family fun play.
