Mary Poppins Flies On Stage
Critics heaped lavish praise on the London world theater premiere of Mary Poppins on Dec. 16, after it took in nearly $20 million in advance sales, the Reuters news service reported.
The show, based on the 1964 Disney musical film, takes to the stage 40 years after Julie Andrews' Oscar-winning performance, the news service reported.
British actress Laura Michelle Kelly (My Fair Lady) took over Andrews' role and won a standing ovation at the Dec. 15 premiere, earning raves from British newspapers.
The show, adapted by Oscar-winning screenwriter Julian Fellowes, is darker than the Disney movie and comes with a warning banning children under the age of 3 from seeing it and saying that it is unsuitable for children under 7, Reuters reported.
