I've seen this film twice now. I can totally see the issues with it and the parallels with the original movie and I did have disappointments. However, I still wept from beginning to end. It really took me back to my childhood. Mary Poppins was a huge deal in our house and meant so much to my family. It still does. This sequel made me appreciate just how brilliant the original is and made me want to watch it again! This new movie may not be perfect, but it sure does make you feel
I was there for the filming at "The Band's Visit." They stuffed a paper in our Playbills inviting us to stay for a few moments after the performance ended to be involved in the filming. After hyping the crowd up (which wasn't hard to do after an exceptional show with a more than impressed audience) Katrina changed into her "Omar Sharif" dress and the band came out in uniform. They began filming, the band played the classic music they use in commercials and Katrina
Even if it is difficult for people to understand this production, I think this is likely to win most of the revival awards this season which could make it really successful in the long run. I wonder if many people will buy tickets thinking they are seeing a classic production of the show..
I'm thankful that after months of reading these boards, I finally joined. That was because of all of you. You are all so smart and insightful and have provided so much information to people like me who just want to immerse themselves in this world. So thank you all for doing what you do best. It truly is a blessing to be able to share our passion.
I'm thankful that Laura Benanti is playing her dream role.
I'm thankful for every single person who was involved with &qu
Saw a picture of Laura Benanti and a basket on a cast member's instagram story... looks like "Loverly" it is! So excited to finally see a bit of her performance.
Most recent. Collage dedicated to her anniversary with her husband. Her mom’s account is @nonirory. Stephanie liked the comment as well.

Noticed on Stephanie J. Block’s Instagram that’s her mother commented asking for people to pray and think of Stephanie’s daughter. Apparently she is very sick. Don’t know any details so I won’t try to explain. Just wanted to share and ask that you all try to send some positive vibes to her and the family!
I will miss this show so much. I loved the critics forums and looked forward to them each year. However, I appreciate that Susan Haskins wanted to keep it about the art. Thank you 25 years of great discussions, Susan!!
Megan will be fantastic!! So glad she's FINALLY going to play Audrey after being let go from the national tour years ago due to her being too young opposite Anthony Rapp. Perfect casting!
