The Banks house in Disney and Cameron Mackintosh's theatrical version of Mary Poppins is a wonder to behold. Designed by Bob Crowley, the huge structure opens like a storybook, spins to reveal more secrets and has the magical ability to cause a gasp of delight from both parents and children alike. If only the happenings that occur within the Banks household were nearly as memorable as that house.
After beginning her career in Cleveland in Disney's jukebox musical On the Record, Ashley Brown has triumphantly returned armed with an umbrella, British accent and the ability to fly.
Last night, Mary Poppins played its first performance at Playhouse Square's State Theatre and seemed to magically transfer audiences into the New Amsterdam Theatre on 42nd Street in New York City. It's not far-fetched to say that the touring production of 'Poppins' is the closest thing Cleveland audiences will get to the real Great White Way for quite some time. The show's set has been newly redesigned by the legendary Bob Crowley and all of the major special effects of the Broadway version have been recreated for this production. In addition, several cast members who originated their roles on Broadway are on the tour as well, including Ashley Brown as Mary and Gavin Lee as Bert.
Gavin Lee first took his bow as the beloved character of Bert five years ago when Mary Poppins began its first previews at the Bristol Hippodrome in England. Since then, he has performed the role at London?s Prince Edward Theatre, New York?s legendary New Amsterdam Theatre and, beginning Friday, will be taking his bows on the stage at Cleveland?s State Theatre in Playhouse Square.
