I saw Mary Poppins in NYC today, as it is closing in London in January, and I knew I wouldn’t make it to London before it closed. I had mezzanine tickets, which were okay… but I have decided that I’m not going to see shows if I can’t get orchestra seats. I couldn’t see the top of the stage, which was frustrating. The staging was phenomenal. It’s not anything like the movie, but it’s still worth seeing. Perhaps most frustrating was the number of people who didn’t heed the advisory for children under 5. It is really frustrating to pay so much for tickets and have screaming kids in the theater. Anyway, the cast was very talented , the dancing was incredible, and I wouldn’t have expected anything less from Disney. I wish I had been able to see it in London, but it was incredible in NYC all the same.
