Supercalifragilistic Mary Poppins

For Christmas we got my parents tickets to see Mary Poppins... pretty sure my Dad will agree that present was WELL WORTH the wait!!  (His first time seeing it... my Mom went with her BFF a few years ago)  We have seen MANY Broadway shows, both in New York and touring companies.  But this one?  Ridiculous.  Highly recommend it.  I'm going to go so far as to say Best Show I've Seen.  That's pretty big recommendation from me.  Just saying.  Seeing Bert dancing upside down on the ROOF of the stage... Mary flying out over the audience... UNBELIEVABLE choreography for Supercalifrag-whatever (which, by the way, Carly spent much of the walk out trying to re-create)... crazy good dancing... amazing "Child Actors" (and they were on the stage for nearly every scene!)... excellent singing... *sigh*.  It was fun.

And the company.... OUR company, not THE Company.  The Boys had decided last fall when we planned to get the tickets that they didn't want to go (Ben fell asleep during Wicked  a few years ago.  REALLY???), so Carly and I took my parents... and Tracy and Torrey came along for RoundTwo for them (they had seen it in Houston).  So it was a fun night out with The Girls for my Dad!  Pretty sure he loved that just as much as he flying Nanny.  Since you aren't supposed take pictures during the show, here are a few BEFORE we went in...

Someone isn't wearing her retainer... (!)

Uncle Dean... In Torrey's defense, she FOR REAL just took it out long enough to be photographed and then returned said retainer to her mouth. This is true.
