Mary Poppins

nancy30005

Or "Bibbins" as my kid calls her. 

I had no the film itself was so well respected (other than outside my home).

Julie Andrews won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance as Mary Poppins and the film also won Oscars for Best Film Editing, Original Music Score, Best Song for "Chim Chim Cher-ee" and Best Visual Effects, and received a total of 13 nominations.

I guess that's my random fact of the day. I still love it. . 

ETA: I have no idea why there's random bold shiit. IJS.

I love it, too. I'd really like to see the Broadway show.

Get to the Broadway show quickly! It's closing soon. Although that probably means there will be several touring companies.

Oh bummer! I hope it tours. Wasn't Little Mermaid supposed to tour after it closed? Or did it and I just missed it? I wanted to take my niece.

This is my kid's absolute favorite movie! She has been obsessed since August. We watch various parts of it almost every day. Her faves are "where they jump into the picture," and "where they are running away," and "laughing on the ceiling." Lol.

She is also in love with kites because of it. We have to sing the songs nightly, and if I'm telling a story instead of singing she often asks for, "a story about Mary." Which is basically just me telling the plot of the whole movie.

I would love to be able to take her to see it on Broadway. We've watched a couple of YouTube clips, and it looks fab.

I don't know about The Little Mermaid. I imagine Mary Poppins will tour though as it had a pretty successful Broadway run. I hope it does anyway because I'd like to see it too. It's been one of my favorite movies since childhood.

Yeah, apparently Walt tried for like 20 years to get the movie rights to Mary Poppins before Ms. Travers gave in.

I also love how Mrs.Banks is a feminist.

But I "ugh" when she caves when her H comes home.

Here's my fun fact: mary Poppins and my fair lady were made the same year. Julie Andrews was a huge hit on broadway in my fair lady, but they cast Audrey Hepburn with a VoiceOver for the singing because they thought Julie was too plain for film. Then she went and won an Oscar for Mary poppins.

DH and I saw the Broadway show in NY in the summer of 2011. Seeing a Broadway show in NY was on my bucket list and I am so glad that Mary Poppins was the one we saw. I cried twice it was so good. I was also pregnant. But still. It was fantastic. If it ever comes to my area, I would love to see it again.
