The costumes, set, choreography, and talent we saw blew us away. I'm friends with the mom of Talon Ackerman, the boy who plays Michael Banks. After the show he took us backstage and gave us a tour of the set. What a treat! I got to see Mary's umbrellas up close, several costumes, the amazing set pieces, and got to see how many of the illusions work. If you get a chance to see Mary Poppins on stage- DO IT! It's magical.
