THE HOLY TERROR D:
Went and saw Mary Poppins last night.
No, not the movie.
The musical based on the movie.
It's really quite good -- which isn't that surprising. Disney's movie-based Broadway shows do tend to be awesome, from what I understand.
There were quite a few changes that I honestly can't complain about; it made for delightful surprises for someone who has seen the movie well over fifty times. There was one bit towards the end of the first act that got kind of Nightmare Fuel-y -- and that was the toned-down version, according to TV Tropes:
The stage musical features a new, Accidental Nightmare Fuel-efficient number called 'Temper, Temper' where Jane and Michael's toys grow bigger than they are, come to life, and hold them trial for breaking their tempers. Remember all the mean things you did to your toys? Cover your children's eyes... and your own.
Don't worry! None of the links go to TV Tropes.
I wouldn't do that to you guys.
I need you to click my stuff. :D
Anyway.
Musical: Good. See it when you can.
Our Mary Poppins wasn't Julie Andrews -- but she didn't try to be, either, and that's why she was so wonderful.

- This troper saw the production with a group of mature, sensible high-school aged females, and all were terrified. The scary lighting, shrilly pitch, and demented costumes are a frightening combination.
- The song was deemed so scary that it has been replaced with 'Playing the Game' in the Broadway version. It was also part of the reason the producers would not allow any child under the age of three into the theatre during its London run and stated that the show was meant for children age 7 and up.
- And besides the fact that it's Nightmare Fuel, you should also take into account that once the song is over, it is NEVER reprised.
