Just a spoon full of sugar....

Last night I was surprised with a ticket to see Mary Poppins, which took me back to being 7 years old when I made my brother watch the movie everyday for a year. They’ve played around with the story to make it work for the stage but a little artistic licence is acceptable. Maybe I’ve been tainted over the years but I can’t help wondering if Mary Poppins was drugging everyone with her ‘medicine’. The stage interpretation of their adventure in the park was comparable with Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. I also had to laugh at the crazy women sat next to us who demanded to see the usher’s supervisor to complain loudly about the noisy children sat behind - she actually asked for them to be removed. Er…. listen up crazy women… if you don’t like kids go and see Les Miserables.

Anyway, here are a couple of pics of the beautiful theater.
