Went to Mary Poppins musical. Been to many others, Wicked, Phantom and Les Mis but didn't enjoy this one as much.
Found the lighting, costumes and effects good but music is dated, not catchy enough and I didn't feel uplifted by it. Too much cynical stuff and also too long. Would be interested to compare with the movie, is the movie that cynical.?Too much slapstick humour.
Ticketmaster need to point out more clearly too that the Royal Box package of $164 per ticket includes a lot of extras like chocolates and ice cream that you may not want. Cheaper tickets in stalls (we were row N) had just about as good a view as our more expensive one.
Unfortunately didn't enjoy it as much as other musicals I've been to.
