Day 731
For our birthdays Mum bought Tahlia and I tickets to see Mary Poppins in Sydney. I haven't seen a musical for years. Years and years. To be honest I can take them or leave them ... musicals I mean .... they're just not a financial priority. Don't get me wrong, I do love the outing, but they've got to be truly rockin' to fully capture my interest (and wallet). I think the last one I saw may have been Mama Mia, so to go to Mary Poppins with someone else paying was kind of exciting. Tahlia has never been to a musical so it was life changing for her.
We loved it!! We were sitting in the third row so we were up close and person which was a bonus. The props were amazing ... magical in fact. And every single person out there on that stage was outstanding. I couldn't believe how much energy they all had and that even after a matinee session that day, they still seemed to back it up that evening with 110% effort. The dancing and singing was so full on. Of course Mary Poppins was the crowd favourite but I have to say that I absolutely loved Bert. Matt Lee is one hell of an amazing dancer .... and with a voice to match .... wow!! And when he climbed the wall and then danced on the ceiling ... well ... he left Lionel Richie for dead.
Anyway, as I said, I don't get out much so I might not be the most informed of judges, but I reckon Mary Poppins is worth a visit. We definitely feel a little more magical for having seen it.
Thanks Mum!!
