Great evening out at a musical! So colorful! The singing was superb! The actors and actresses and orchestra were brilliant! Did not expect it to last 3 hours....but it went by quickly! Enjoy it if you have the opportunity to go. Sarofim Hall was a nice venue.
The show was excellent. The scenery & props were great.
The show is definitely for the Disney lover: Big musical numbers, colorful sets/costumes, & lots of 'magic'. Charming touring cast and fantastic orchestra had the audience engaged.
really a well produced show, excellant sets and transitions. ashley and Gavin bring all of themselves into each performance and we applaud them. the choreography or the dance captain or the gypsies themselves were not always up to par but were overall very good. well worth the time, price and downtown experience. go.
I took my daughter and two grandsons, ages 2 & 3. They were absolutely mesmerized. They were so happy to see Mary Poppins live. We all thoroughly enjoyed the show.
I expected the show to be a lot peppier. It was really slow and at points, boring.
Absolutely great play for all ages. Some of the best props I have seen outside of NYC. Great (huge) cast and wonderful costumes. Truly engaging.
This musical was fabulous. The music was wonderful, the choreography was fantastic, and the special effects were surprising and amazing. This was full entertainment and was very memorable. Congratulations to all who created this play.
This show was so great! I absolutely loved the "Step In Time" number!!! This is my altime favorite movie and the broadway did not let me down. LOVED IT!!!
The Broadway show is different from the movie. The main characters are the same, but the story line varies in many areas. Mary Poppins takes the children to meet dancing statues, life sized toys, and street fair characters. There are variations on the familiar songs, along with fabulous dancing, coreography, scenery, and special effects. Mary Poppins does do her magic (somehow) on stage. Burt walks up the side of the stage, across the top, and down the other side! Mary Poppins flies several times, the last time over the audience!
That was the most magical musical I had ever seen... I felt like I was 7 years old again, and it semt like the whole audience was feeling the same! I am so in love with Mary Poppins and her educational values... I had completely forgotten all those positive messages! The actors were great, they all seemed to enjoy very much being there. The decor and the lighting was absolutely amazing. The special effects don't even need to be mentioned! Everything was just breathtaking! Fabulous show..... Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
The production was the best I've seen in a play. The story not as fun as the movie, but still ok. I liked the evil nanny, though.
Mary Poppins was WONDERFUL!!! I felt like I was a kid again - just marvelous. The costumes, singing, acting - flawless!
Overall first rate performance. I'm getting more like Crankshaft as the years go by and reluctantly agreed to go with my wife who is still involved in accompanying for high school musicals. I was blown away by the great set designs and staging effects. As an engineer I really appreciated the "repair" technique in the kitchen scene. Of course, the singing, dancing and acting were top notch -- so much so that this old guy had to wipe away the tears on more than one occasion. When we came home I immediately checked the BWAM website to see if the show was going to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area for our daughter and grandkids to see, but alas it isn't.
The Show was really Awesome. My seat was HORRIBLE.. I had a big Light stand blocking my view of the center stage. I ended up having to sit in the other seat so I could see and hold my 9 year old daughter in my lap. They should really let people know before purchasing this seat. It was not even the "Cheap Seats". I will know what seat NOT to get next time!!!
Its a shame they don´t have earlier functions for children, after all its them who enjoy this particular musical the most. I took my five and they all fell asleep towards the end, it was to late but I did not want them to miss it!
One of the best I've ever seen. REMARKABLE!! I definitely will recommend this to everyone I see.
An excellent play and extraordinary performances and classy flying with Mary Poppins!
Loved it! Was very intertaining. My husband even sat through both Acts and was awake! ALL voices were wonderful, the "SUPERFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS" , with the hand motion movements, were incredible. ALL IN UNISON!!! Was remarkable! The dancing, the silver statues, very good!
