Mary Poppins II

[reeeoga]

Bert has to be played by a multi-Faceted, award winning dramatic actor with with grace and poise of Fred Astair, the charm of Jimmy Stewart and the comidic genius of Art Carney. The only person that can fill that shoe is....Adam Sandler.

By the way, anybody ever read any of the books? I found them dreadful. Mary Poppins is an incredibly unpleasant person. Probably more realistic, but still....

Yes. I started reading the first one to my daughter and she made me stop.

I kind of like the books. The Banks family has more children and Mary comes back. I seem to remember twins in a pram at one point.
The musical is playing in London now.

Ashley Brown (the Belle that just got off Broadway) will be playing Marry Poppins on Broadway. It opens Oct. 14. I disliked the books also.

According to an article in The New Yorker, before she died, PL Travers, in order to prevent Disney from doing anything more to Mary Poppins, made a deal with Sir Cameron MacIntosh, producer of such musicals as Les Miserables, Phantom, Cats, Miss Saigon, etc., to do a musical version of Mary. She died, and Sir Cameron went running and signed Disney as co-producers. It's supposed to hit Broadway within a year or two.

Mary Poppins the Musical will actually be hitting Broadway in October. One of my daughters friends will be playing Jane Banks (her name is Katherine Doherty.) Ashely Brown (formarlly Belle in Beauty and the Beast on B-way) will be playing Mary Poppins.
