Mary Poppins will be flying in, with her magic and umbrella to entertain and delight audiences of all ages on Broadway. From the classic stories of P.L. Travers and the 1964 Disney movie which still today is a mainstay in many older and new parents video collection is set for a run on Broadway. The musical already has become a block buster hit in London where the ever so lengthy word “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!” is being uttered from the streets of leaving patrons.

Mary Poppins has enjoyed a long history of popularity ever since the story was told in the hit movie, and for Disney perhaps it is the show which sets the example of family life which the company has been capitalizing on since it’s conception. Mary Poppins is a tale of family, an ideal of perfect family in which a magic nanny can fly in and take a family in crisis and fix every struggle of relationship with a smile, some love and a bit of understanding. The two children, Jane and Michael are indeed in need of a “perfect” nanny which they request and their father who is a typical the typical working dad, set to provide for the Banks family through his banking career. Mrs. Banks is a mother who has become overloaded with her household duties and becomes burdened with the strains and hassles of nanny problems.

Flying in with her umbrella as a parachute comes Mary Poppins, the super nanny who becomes set on bringing order to the Banks family and that she does. Fixing and strengthening relationships within the household by bringing back the morals and values of past family functions. Mary Poppins seems almost set on turning Mr. Banks into a family man who can and will spend time with the children, in other words not just be the provider and Mrs. Banks from her seemingly portrayed feminist ideals, back to a women who should take pride and joy in her duties as a mother.

At the heart of the story of Mary Poppins seems to be an underlying theme or lesson, that was being exploited around the time the film hit the big screen. The lesson of being, that society was beggining to see the fall of the family system, one which has worked throughout the history of man. The tale seems to almost prophesied the fall of today’s modern family values, in which no one has time for raising children properly and nannies have become a luxury. Perhaps Mary Poppin was sending her warning in which if families do not make the changes she suggests they will only slip further away from where the Banks family had found themselves. In any regards, at least for the Banks family they were indeed able to learn from the heart of this super magical flying nanny and bring their family back to “perfection,” a perfection which seems to be becoming more and more lost in today’s society. I mean come on, do families even eat together any more? I think the comeback popularity of Mary Poppins will once again touch the hearts and bring an enjoyable experience to families, which is what her legacy seems to have accomplished.

Since its opening in late Oct 1903 with a production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” the show goes on at the New Amsterdam Theater. For years, it was considered the most majestic of all the Broadway Theaters until it fell to decades of neglect. Disney has restored it to its near original grandeur by trying to preserve the theater’s elaborately painted proscenium, ornate friezes, and sculptured terra-cotta balustrades, and the essential architecture, as much as was possible.

The newly restored Theater was opened on April 2, 1997, and after a limited run of Alan Menken and Tim Rice’s “King David,” Disney’s “The Lion King” took over on Nov 13 and had a long run of many years.

It is a journey tracing the parallel lives of Travers and Mary Poppins, from their origins to their transformation from servant to seer.

With her umbrella in hand and a carpet bag full of surprises, Mary Poppins has delighted generations of kids and kids at heart. The book and creator, P. I. Travers also wrote several other books for adults and children, but it is for the character of Mary Poppins that she is best remembered. Travers’ reserve in granting it, she wanted to make sure Mary Poppins would remain fresh for children of all ages, “Her father died and they became impoverished and they went back to England where she wrote Mary Poppins,” she said. Shepard illustrated all of the Mary Poppins books, though often with some bitterness as Travers allowed her almost no license in how she composed images. There is never a dull moment when Mary Poppins is around, fox hunting, laughing in the air, riding a merry-go-round and of course flying around with her umbrella. Scratch the speciously shiny surface of Mary Poppins and you find a story at the heart of Disney’s “perfect family” life.

Disney has made other great movies, but Mary Poppins is a timeless movie that appeals to generations of children. Mary poppins is probably one of the most watched childhood movies of all time. There is never a dull moment when Mary Poppins is around, fox hunting, laughing in the air, riding a merry-go-round and of course that flying umbrella.

Mary Poppins lasts two and three-quarter hours, and that may be tough for children. The Broadway production is crafted with loving care, sporting a series of great performances, Mary Poppins (with the possible exception of one scene) will deliver as it has done in London in which reviews have been very positive.

When Mary Poppins arrives, with her no-nonsense approach to making the right choices in life, nothing will ever be the same again. “Mary Poppins” has a nifty sequence that combines dance sequences and live action. In any case, the children are looking for a newer, nicer nanny and one soon appears. A strong gust of wind literally blows the queue away while Mary Poppins flies down with her umbrella to apply for the nanny position with the Bank’s family. The son, Michael cries in anguish the first night she has come to care for them. Soon Mary Poppins and the children are going for outings in the park, and beginning to bond. Although the seemingly cold and conceited Mary Poppins always denies that magic ever happened, the children find proof it did. The family, headed by a stereotypically fuddy-duddy city banker, have their lives, and their outlook on life, changed by the magical nanny known only as Mary Poppins.

The musical Mary Poppins comes to Broadway with a plot based on the hit movie and book of course with the same name. They did quite a bit of work with wires, allowing Mary Poppins to float in and out of the stage. Young children are being warned against seeing the new Theatre adaptation of Mary Poppins because it could be too frightening. We are both entertained and prodded to look within while following the adventures of her famous nanny, Mary Poppins, and the Banks children. Not to be compared with the movie, the Broadway production of Mary Poppins is prim, strict and never tells anybody anything.
