On Saturday, November 15, at 7:00 P.M., I had the pleasure of my very first experience with the Broadway on Main Theatre Company in East Haven, Connecticut, to see a phenomenal production of MARY POPPINS! This theater features scenery projections on the back of the stage wall and on the side house walls, to immerse the audience into the show, with a constant 270 degree visual experience! Sometimes the projections include motion, even moving images of some of the characters in the show! This is a unique concept, brilliantly applied, enhancing the quality of the production! This is a highly memorable show, wonderful for the whole family!

MARY POPPINS THE MUSICAL has its roots in the classic children's books by P.L. Travers, first published in 1934. The magical nanny who brings order and wonder to the Banks household became a cultural icon after Disney’s 1964 film adaptation, which blended Travers’ stories with unforgettable songs by the Sherman Brothers.
