Saw Mary Poppins on Broadway
I really liked it.
They changed the storyline somewhat from the movie (I don't know about the books) and made it a much richer story involving the family. I really enjoyed it and I thought it was a lot of fun. Different from the movie!
I absolutely loved the sets, they did so much with them and the set changes were so quick!
"Step in Time" was my favorite scene and there are some new scenes and songs that are a lot of fun.
My biggest critique was that the New AMsterdam is HUGE. It's just such a big house, and I'm not sure that at all moments the actors really sold it and filled the whole house. We got the tickets as a gift and the people who gave it to us said seats were hard to come by, and so we were in the balcony and there were times when I just felt like it was too far away and they weren't playing to the whole house. It was really cool though. I definitely enjoyed it!
(It was my first Disney on Broadway experience)

Re: Saw Mary Poppins on Broadway
We also sat in the balcony. My biggest complaint about it was not that I didn't feel I was getting the whole show, but that the seats were so squished together you were practically sitting on the person next to you and had no room to move your legs in front of you. And that other people were acting like they were at a ball game- chomping on food, talking and being annoying.
As for the show, we loved it and Step in Time was also our favorite scene - it was so much fun!
