I would love to see that! I really liked Mary Poppins as a child. It would be fun to see how they handle it on broadway!

I'm praying that it's better than the London version. It was fine, but they added a ton of stuff from the books and deleted a lot of beloved stuff from the film.

We take a day trip to New York every year...maybe I could get tickets and go see that instead of going shopping! That would be good!!! Either that or I'd go see Beauty and the Beast...because I haven't seen that one yet. *sigh* New York...Disney...dancing and singing...what more could you want...?

I'm really hoping to go see this with my mother and one of her friends. Heck, even if we can't get there, being in Boston, NYC is just a quick bus ride away! Nothing wrong with taking a little day trip by myself!
