well this weekend i managed to only have 4 glasses of wine. one after coming home from wayyyy uptown to visit kc, who is pregnant and on bedrest until she gives birth, the following day i went to see mary poppins and i had 2 glasses while getting ready. today i had one to finish off the bottle i had opened so it wouldnt go bad.

anyway, mary poppins on broadway. wow. where do i begin. the sets were awesome. i really really liked bert. the children were good. the park scene was… interesting. the most memorable part of the show was a scene right before intermission where all of the childrens toys came alive to give the girl a trial bc she lost her temper and threw one of them. it was one of the scariest things i have scene in my life. there were toys and dolls and clowns (one with a snap braclet whip). kim and i were like wtfffffffffff. im not even scared of them normally but it really is a child’s worst nightmare. now for the scene i did actually enjoy was the park scene even though it was SO nothing like the movie other than it being in a park. there were statues that moved around and danced. some of which had some nice asses, just saying even kp’s mom thought so. the show was very cirque de soleil when mary’s play times happened. step in time was alright even though it is one of my fave scenes in the movie. i love tap dancing but the music was mostly so overpowering that you couldnt even hear the shoes. now to end on what i thought was the best part of the show, the scenes. it opens with a view of the house which is the father’s study, foyer, and living room downstairs with the stairwell going up from the foyer and ultimately leading to the childrens room in the attic. the roof is visible with 2 window/doors to the roof terrace. the children are sent upstairs with mary when she first arrives. the house is retracted and the bedroom decends from the roof section which gets pulled upward off stage. literally everyone in the audience gasped and said ooooooouuhh. which made kp and i laugh. thats about all i have to say about that.

after we went to starbucks where everyone drank coffee while i sat pretending to be happy to be there all while wanting to go drink heavily for about an hour. no such luck. kp told me her mom and grandma thought i looked very good which was nice since i never think i do.
