Winds in the east, mist comin' in....
like something is brewing, about to begin, can't put me finger on what lies in store, but I feel what's to happen all happened before.
- Bert (Mary Poppins)
Those words spoken by Bert (whether played by Dick Van Dyke or by Gavin Lee - on stage) always give me the goosebumps! They're so exciting and welcoming. A great start to a story, especially one as magical as Mary Poppins!
Amazingly enough, well I guess I shouldn't be too amazed as it was Disney producing it, Mary Poppins the stage play was just as full of magic and wonder and supercalifragilisticexpialidocious as the original movie. And, if possible it even brought P.L. Travers' character of Mary back to the story, at least I think it struck a great balance between the book and the film Marys.
The play was a dream! It was phenomenal, it was amazing, for lack of any better words it was indeed completely Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!!! Or perhaps it was Practically perfect in every way which made going to see it quite the Jolly Holiday! :-D
The staging and set design made me and my fellow theatre-minded flattie drool. From a flat-looking Number 17 Cherry Tree Lane that opened into a doll-house-esque set which by a snap of his fingers and a flick of his wrist, Bert, the real one in control of the story, could send across the stage. That's something else, the way in which they broke the 4th wall with Bert's knowing looks or "hey, see what I can do" nods to the audience made for a truly fun/interactive sort of atmosphere.
I'd keep going and tell you all about all of it, but I'll wait until next week to add the special parts as I don't want to give any of the most amazing parts away to those of you who may be going to see it before it leaves LA! I highly suggest going to see it! It's sooo worth it!

new location!
Hi everyone, yep, I've moved. Sorry about the lack of fore-warning. It was a sudden decision. The move is in part due to the fact that I want to start working on branding "words words words" as something other than my blog. It will, hopefully, be the name of the bookstore I want to open, so I figure I'd eliminate one thing out on the web that is title as such but has little to nothing to do with my bookstore. So, find me here, now! :D Thanks!
