Mary Poppins Continues To Soar On Broadway

One of my fondest childhood memories was seeing Mary Poppins for the first time on television. Until then I had never encountered anything so enchanting and fun. So imagine how happy I was when it was announced that one of my favorite movies was coming to the Broadway stage. I am happy to report that not only did the "Broadway" version exceed all my expectations but it made me fall in love with Mary Poppins all over again. Now I'll be the first to admit that I have never been a fan of Disney and their reign on Broadway. Until Mary Poppins the only Disney show I had seen was Aida and that was mostly do to the fact that it wasn't a cartoon before hand.Mary Poppins is a winner on all levels. Great cast,charming songs, and a story that will warm your heart. What more could you ask for in a Broadway musical right? Now for those of you that think this show is only for kids you would be mistaken. It is perfect for any age.I should know. I'm not exactly a kid anymore myself.

MARY POPPINS

I was almost 20 years old when the movie Mary Poppins was released. It was a great hit but received more notoriety because Julie Andrews won the Oscar as Best Actress and beat Audrey Hepburn who took Julie Andrews' role in My Fair Lady, who was also up for am academy award for Best Actress..

Mary Poppins was fantastic as a movie and it is even more fantastic as a Broadway Musical. I guess I started to appreciate it when Disney invited us to see previews of Mary Poppins. They had a full symphony orchestra play the music from Mary Poppins as a Classical Piece. It was then that it really struck me how spectacular the music to Mary Poppins is.
One of the advantages of Mary Poppins is that it has appeal for both adults and children. We have sold an incredible amount of tickets for Mary Poppins and have never had anyone tell us that they didn't like the show.

As I think about the setting, the music, the choreography, the acting, the voices and the special effects, it seems almost impossible to not like Mary Poppins. If you need to take someone to a Broadway show or if you would like to take someone to a Broadway show, Mary Poppins is ideal, no matter what age even a teenage boy (who will never admit he liked it). I wouldn't advise it for a Bachelor Party, however. But jokes aside, this version of Mary Poppins has an adult storyline as well as a Children's fairyland.

Another bonus is that Mary Poppins is one of the shows on Applause's BFV program. Prices are BELOW FACE VALUE. This is a real help these days where so many of us are under economic pressure. If we would like to do something special for ourselves and or for our family and friends without breaking the bank, Mary Poppins would be an excellent choice. A great show and BFV prices. Would love to have your feedback.

Mary Poppins on Broadway -Why not get great tickets at a discount?

Hi Broadway fans,

Did you know that one of the most popular shows playing for the last few years on Broadway, Mary Poppins, is now offering some discount seats for many performances in March and April of 2009? If you haven't had a chance to see this uplifting family musical by Disney and Cameron Mackintosh, now might be a great time to see a fantastic show, and at a cut-rate price. Why not save the money and buy yourself dinner at a nice New York theater district restaurant. Makes sense right?

For those of you that may not know it, Mary Poppins tells the stories of P.L. Travers and the Academy Award-winning film based on the Mary Poppins series of books. The 1964 film was very popular and had Dick Van Dyke and Julie Andrews in the starring roles. The story is a simple and very cute one. A "magical" nanny flies into town and takes a job looking after 2 children in the Banks family home. Mary Poppins has some very special qualities and a unique outlook on life. She has a wonderful effect on the entire Banks family and the people of the town as well.

Mary Poppins has terrific music with many "singable" songs as well, like "Chim Chim Cher-ee", "Let's Go Fly A Kite" and the one that almost everyone knows-"Supercalifragilisticexpialadocius". There lots of the usual Disney "special effects" throughout the show. You'll really love it friends.

Right now, if you make a call to Applause Theater Service in New York City at 212-307-7050 or toll free at 800-451-9930, we can secure amazing seats for Mary Poppins at a discount price that is available for March and April 2009, with very few restrictions as well.

At this time Scarlett Strallen plays the role of Mary Poppins, Adam Fiorentino plays the role of Bert and Broadway's very own Rebecca Luker plays Winnifred Banks. They are supported by a very talented and amazing ensemble as well.

The show plays 8 performances a week, Wednesday through Saturday evenings at 8pm, a 2pm matinee on Wednesday and Saturday with shows on Sunday at 1 and 630 pm. They are off on Mondays and Tuesdays right now.

Disney's other two very popular shows on Broadway are available by contacting Applause also. They are the long-running The Lion King and The Little Mermaid, two of our biggest selling shows right now.

Applause Theatre Service Invites you and your Families to go Fly a Kite with Mary Poppins this Winter and Save Big!

Disney and Applause Theatre Service are offering some really big savings this Winter! One that you should try and catch is the wonderfully staged, spectacular "Mary Poppins". Broadway has great savings these next few months and now's the best chance to catch all of these top shows at a great price! When I first saw "Mary Poppins"(I've seen it 3 times!), we expected to see the movie on stage, but the plays storyline is different. We weren't disappointed at all as that made it a new and unexpected experience. (The songs from the movie are all there, plus a few new ones.)
The staging is amazing. Most of the action centers around the Banks house on 17 Cherry Tree Lane. This three story edifice fills the stage. When it retracts, the attic (where the Banks children's bedroom is located) descends to stage level.
The actors portraying the Banks family and their staff are outstanding. There's always the fear that the "precocious" level will be a bit too high when it comes to child actors, but "Michael and Jane" were wonderful.
It's hard to say which one number was a show-stopper. "Jolly Holiday", "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" and "Spoonful of Sugar" come to mind, but if I had to pick, "Step in Time" is the one that stood out from the rest. Tap-dancing chimney sweeps fill the stage in this rousing number. The standout is Bert who (thanks to Disney magic) walks up a wall, dances across the ceiling, and walks down the other side. WOW!!
On the other end of the spectrum, the beautiful "Feed the Birds" is the same quiet, heart tugging number as in the screen version of Mary Poppins. (Bring the Kleenex.)
There's kite flying and "nanny" flying as well. Suffice it to say, the finale will leave you wide eyed in amazement, but I don't want to spoil it for those of you who plan on going. (I probably said too much already.)
The play ended with a well deserved standing ovation. I couldn't believe it when I looked at my watch and almost 3 hours had gone by! If you're thinking of going, get those tickets now as this Winter Insider Deal is definitely going to help the show sell a lot of tickets very quickly and you don't want to miss out. So call an Applause Sales Expert now at 800-451-9930 and take advantage of this great opportunity!
