I am a a huge broadway fan so when I heard the Mary Poppins was making it's way to the Great White Way I knew I had to hear it. When I did I was completly blown away! Not only are all of the old and beloved songs there and complete the are a host of all new ones that still hold up the magic of the show.

standouts include:
Cherry Tree Lane Part 1
The Perfect Nanny
Cherry Tree Lane Part 2
Practically Perfect
Jolly Holiday
Cherry Tree Lane (Reprise)/Being Mrs Banks
A Spoonful of Sugar
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Temper, Temper
Chim Chim Cher-Ee (Rooftop Duet)
Brimstone and Treacle
Let's Go Fly a Kite
Step in Time
Anything Can Happen

Although this show is produced by disney it isn't a disney musical. the story has been expanded to include some of the original story lines from the Mary Poppins books. the show is great and so is this recording. Buy it!

This C.D. is more than worth it's pricetag- I was lucky enough to see the show in London's West End when I was in London. The show in short is AMAZING- it's a show that brings ADULTs and kids to their feets and makes you leave the theater believing that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

Based on the classic movie- the show has only ehanced those classic songs/feelings captured in the movie- with the addition of many more adventures. The songs added fit perfectly among the Sherman brothers orginal ones and the cast in SUPER.

Laura Michelle Kelly is MARY POPPINS- much more than a look-a-like but captures the whole spirit or what Mary Poppins is. David Haig is perfectly cast as George Banks and unlike the movie has more depth about his sterness. But, my favorite cast member is Gavin Lee who IS Bert- possibly better than Dick Van Dyke- in the show singing and dancing upside down. And has an increadiable voice to match all that talent!

My favorite new songs would have to be "Anything Can Happen" and the newly refurbished "Step In Time." After listening to this C.D. you'll find yourself believing "Anything Can Happen If You Let It." I can't wait- until this magical show casts it's spell on Broadway! Broadway or Mary Poppins fan or Disney fans must have this recording in their collections! Hit the buy now button and let yourself be charmed by Mary Poppins as well.

Mary Poppins at West End is perhaps the best musical I have ever seen next to seeing the original Broadway cast of Wicked. In my opinion, it is the best Disney musical that has been put onstage. If you haven't had an opportunity to see a show at West End, find some way to get to London and see some shows. All the shows (especially Mary Poppins) are a representation of perfection in theatre. The ensemble was outstanding. The principles were amazing. For a true musical theatre lover, Mary Poppins is the real deal. It has amazing sets and costumes as all Disney shows, but it doesn't have all the camp of the other shows. It has very dazzling choreography and wonderful special effects. At one point in the show, Burt walked on the ceiling. Mary Poppins did indeed fly through the audience. It was incredibly moving. I hope the show comes to the States because it is the epidomy of excellent musical theatre!
