Mary Poppins! 11/24/2011
The day we landed in Sydney we went for a walk downtown. They had posters everywhere advertising Disney's Mary Poppins, which was playing at the Capitol Theatre. Having just missed Wicked (in both Edmonton and Sydney!), I was desperate to go! And I finally did! :) The Capitol Theatre is stunning inside. It sparkles with old world charm and elegance. Grand marble staircases take you to the upper levels, and ornate carvings decorate both the lobby and the theatre. The ceiling is painting blue, and glitters with stars that dim when the show starts. It's a very magical place to be. Best of all, Mary Poppins was outstanding! I completely forgot I was a grown up and got involved with the story, clapping along with the other children. The Broadway version is quite different from the movie, but the same spirit is there. I only have one photo from the show (taken before it started, of couse), but I don't need photos, because it's a night I'll remember for a very long time.
