Broadway Show - "Mary Poppins"

The finale to our trip to New York City was to see the new Broadway musical "Mary Poppins." It's the same story as in the movie with some new songs thrown in. From the very beginning, the show was a delight. All the actors and actresses did a fantastic job. Ashley Brown played a particularly good Mary Poppins. She was able to deliver some great lines beautifully while embodying the wondrous magical nanny who changes the lives of the Banks family forever. The show offers great laughs, wonderful songs and fantastic dance routines. The sets and costumes were perfect for the show. The show is an excellent example of what is great about live theater. The audience was able to interact with the cast and let them know by their applause or lack of whether they got it right. The show was also perfect for all ages though I think kids will like it in particular.
Overall, I was delighted with the production. It made a great ending to a fantastic trip to New York City. If you're going to make a trip to the Big Apple anything soon, this is one show you'll want to see, particularly if you have kids or are a kid at heart. It will warm your soul and delight your heart.
