Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.....

I absolutely love going to plays and thought that none would ever top "Wicked" which is my all time favorite...
But...
Mary Poppins did just that! What an amazing play and a very memorable night. While Dave, Sandy and Sara were here they treated me to a night at the Ahmanson theater. I'm sure it was made even more memorable because I was sharing the evening with Dave. We grew up listening to our mom singing the songs from Mary Poppins! She knew every word to every song and would sing them ALL the time. There is a sweet scene in the play where the bird lady sings"Feed the Birds, Tuppence a bag" and I literally began to cry and could not stop! It brought back such sweet memories of my mom tucking us in and scratching our backs. Oh how she LOVED that song. The whole play was just magical! The actors were amazing and the production was spectacular. If you have a chance to get a ticket I would encourage you with all my heart to do so! You wont be disappointed. You will long after find yourself singing "Spoonful of Sugar" and "Chim Chim Chimerey" while smiling from ear to ear. I asked Dave and Sandy on the way home "why do you think we all loved it so much? and Dave hit it right on when he said " It evokes such happy memories of such a happy time"
It sure did and I loved every scene and song.
