Mary Poppins (Chicago) Tickets

This rendition of the Mary Poppins story is a much closer, more intense look at the development of human tolerance, forgiveness, and understanding than the movie version. The story is darker, less happy, and less comedic. But ultimately, the triumph of the human spirit displayed in the production is much more affecting. The character of the father is so much deeper, and given a beautiful treatment. Men are so often portrayed as buffoons, and not important. Not so here. The lessons to be learned in this stage production are universal, and incredibly important for any child's development. As such, the lessons are also a great reminder to adults of the role they can play in shaping traits of kindness and acceptance of the other. A great story.

My 10 year old son and I loved it! We left the theatre singing the songs and smiling the whole way home. Great experience!

We took our 5 year old granddaughter and she sat on the edge of her seat in awe the entire play! we ALL LOVED IT!!!

I loved Mary Poppins! Went with my husband and we had a great time! The acting was spectacular and the musical portions were delightful! Our favorite is "Step In Time." We had seen this two and a half years ago when it was in Chicago, and it was just as good the second time!

I thought it was great. Mary Poppins is not my favorite Disney movie but found the musical highly entertaining.

The show was as good as I anticipated it to be. Theatrics, vocals, and choreography were all amazing. I didn't care for the actress that played Jane. Other than that the entire experience was unforgettable.

I took our 8 year old little girl, to see this show and was really looking forward to it as we watch the movie often with her and our 2 older girls. They all know all the songs and usually sing along. That was the problem. They used some of the same music but changed the words to virutally every song. Our daughter was very disappointed, and honestly, so was I. The acting was great, the dancing was great, the scenery and technical aspects were outstanding! BUT WHERE WERE THE SONGS? That decision ruined the show. I'm guessing that they didn't want to pay the royalties for the real lyrics and the rest of the songs. but without them, what's the point?

Mary Poppins was amazing. The theater is beautiful. All of the actors were wonderful and so was all the music. It made me feel like a kid again!

A must see. So much better than I ever imagined. The production was even more impressive that the talent of the cast.

If like us, you expected a light-hearted paly that is similar to the beloved movie. Forget it. The show skipped many of the classic scenes from the movie (that wonderful penguin dance comes to mind) and instead focuses on the dark reasons why Mr. Banks is such a grump. And how many times can you re-do "A Spoonful of Sugar?" It's one thing for we as adults to be discouraged, but when you spend all that money and the kids hated it, that says it all.

There really wasn't much to love about this misguided musical. Way too much spectacle, way too little "special." Jane and Michael Banks mumbled their way through the entire show; I couldn't make out at least half of what they said. Mary Poppins was unimpressive; not a pleasant singing voice to listen to. The musical is over-long by at least 30 minutes. The show had a darkness that was definitely found in either the original movie or the books on which it was based. Very, very disappointing. I couldn't wait for it to end.

Everything from the acting and singing to the sets and props were wonderful.

was a fun play, kids were very quiet, had a great time!

show was very well done. well acted great music, super surprises built in. Mary and Bert were amazing

Costumes and sets were great. We had great seats, but the sound was only OK. Had some difficulty understanding what was being sung. Changes made to the original story were at best OK...would have preferred to have seen the original story/score.

My sisters and mom went with me to see this play and were very delighted to attend. The character Mary Poppins reminded me of Julie Andrews and the chimney cleaner reminded me of Dick Van Dyke who are two of my favorite actors so I thoroughly enjoyed their performance. The nanny who later replaced Mary Poppins was fantastic and her voice was totally unforgettable!!! This was a wonderful play!!!!

It was a Jolly Holiday with Mary & Burt. The Musical was the deffanition of Broadway & Musical magic. I have seen many musicals in my life and this one is at the top of my list of favorites. What was great about the show is that it was different than the film, though I did miss my penguins & the laughing song. the Musical was something that I feel everyone should see. The set for the musical was ahmazing and the house how it folded out and in was something that I had never seen before on stage. More than the set the cast was wonderful. The children who play Jane and Michael- I give props to any chid that young who can keep up with the dance moves that the elder dancers were doing. Mary Poppins looked and soudned teh way i feel that she should. Also i loved the way Burt narratived the show. There were many jaw dropping moments & it was great to have these moments while sitting in the theater and getting goosebumps as you watch Burt tap dance and sing on the ceiling. This show should be seen by those all young and old it makes you realize the importance of family, that money isnt everything and that you need to have faith and anything can happen.

Awesome! Choreography, music and performances were all exceptional.

We had a great time at the event. The theatre is beautiful, the experience was fantastic.

A little long 1st act but the 2nd act is tight and has some of the best numbers
