How did it compare? Was it as good? Deep breath now. Yes, it was. In fact it's outstanding and maintains the quality shows the theatre group has presented all year. MARY POPPINS is the musical you want to see before Christmas when Bert, not Santa, comes down your chimney. Director, Phil Anstis, has unleashed a show full of vibrancy, joy and colour. His is an assured production, directed with love for the original. Mary Poppins (Val Andrew) enters the dysfunctional Banks family and it's never the same. She sorts out the kids more quickly than Maria did with the Von Trapps. But then she has magic in her fingers and a Lamborghini in her larynx that Julie Andrews would love to repossess. If there's a star it's chimney sweep Bert (Tyrell Beck). He's the glue that holds the show together. He's loveable, flamboyant and dances with the athleticism of a young Gene Kelly.
