Denver Day 6 continued

Later on that evening after we at a delicious meal at Mama's Cafe, we saw the long-anticipated Broadway show Mary Poppins. It was fantastically, fabulously, AWESOME!!!!! Again, no pictures allowed so here's the curtain before it started just to prove we were there. The singing was phenomenal. The dancing was phenomenal. The acting was phenomenal. I mean we're talking about flawless scene changes that were mechanical and almost like magic, no guys dressed in all black trying to smoothly change things in and out. The house was like a real life pop-up book where the doors opened up to reveal the long banister, fireplace, and kitchen and the actors really did walk inside the pop-up house. Mary Poppins slid UP the banister and she flew OVER the audience as she came and went with her umbrella. My favorite scene was Step In Time where Bert danced on the side of the wall and on top of the ceiling upside down, it was amazing!! When it rained on Bert's pictures, it really rained. When they sang Feed the Birds, the birds really flew. Definitely the best stage production and special affects I have seen! Absolutely phenomenal!!!
