Mary Poppins - Prince Edward Theatre

I have for Miss Saigon and Aladdin. I liked them - at bottom price. It is a very side on high up view. 
They have removed one side (higher numbers) for Mary Poppins so only 5 U/C slips a night. Worth going for the further back ones (1 is by the wall, 5 is by the rest of Upper Circle) for a better view. 

I know they have removed some as apparently they never should have gone on sale in January and they must have only just realised as I got a call last week to move my ticket for 2nd November!

I’ve got Dress a Circle slips for the first time - hoping that all is good with them! Wanted Dress Circle for the overview of Bert’s moment in ‘Step in time’ and Mary’s final flight and they were at a price I could afford!!

Ok thankyou

On my way - very excited to see it in the Prince Edward again after all these years!

What's the legroom like?

So how was it ?

That would explain why a swing was on his roles tonight

Apart from a few technical bobbles (a two minute stop halfway through act one, and a table in the kitchen set that didn't seem to want to stop moving) tonight's performance was glorious.

Performance wise, Joseph Millson and Amy Griffiths really shone as Mr and Mrs Banks, delivering emotionally layered performances. Claire Machin as Mrs Brill lived up to the character's name, landing every line that she had with great humour.

Gabriel Payne, on tonight as Michael Banks, was a joy to watch.

Petula Clark's role was truly special, and with just three appearances on stage, her voice still really shines.

More than anything, the show's a spectacular. A huge cast, rigorous tap sequences, beautiful costumes and special effects, it really is a sight to see. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child seems to be the only other show in the West End that can rival it on production values.

Two technical questions from someone who didn't see the tour. Was the illusion of Mary's bed appearing, as shown on the Royal Variety Show, a part of the tour? Tonight Mary's bed was just in the corner like any other set piece, which felt a little strange. Also, in Brimstone and Treacle, did Miss Andrews' cage at any point sink underneath the stage? Again, tonight the cage came out from the hall cupboard, and slid back into the same cupboard. I was just curious about those two.

I'd be interested to see what they change in previews. A few of the illusions could do with some cleaning up, but overall it was a spectacular production.

Were the child actors good ?

Yes. I hate kids in theatre usually but they were both good - particularly Jane.

Why does Zizi land 😂

Charlie Stemp is not using cables isn’t he

Is there anything that lad can’t do!

Is Zizi less shrill in the high notes?
