Broadway

Broadway

There are always fun and exciting shows on Broadway. Some of the shows that are currently playing on Broadway in New York, NY include: Mamma Mia!, Mary Poppins, The Lion King, The Phantom of the Opera, Blue Men Group, Chicago, The Addams Family, Hair, and Wicked. I would like to see all of these because they all look really good. There are many ways to purchase tickets for a show on Broadway in New York. You can purchase tickets ahead of time online or you can purchase tickets when you get to the theater. A popular way to purchase tickets for a show on Broadway is through Telecharge.com. Thelecharge.com is the official ticket source for most of the New York City’s theaters.

Some of the most popular shows playing on Broadway are Wicked, The Lion King, Mary Poppins, Hair, and The Phantom of the Opera. These shows are in the top for ticket sells for Broadway in New York. Wicked seems to be the most popular show because the audience loves how the show is a musical hit inspired by the story of The Wizard of Oz. In The Wizard of Oz, there are the two witches that are sisters and one is nice and pretty and one is mean and ugly. Wicked tells the story of how the two sisters because witches and how one became mean and ugly and the other one became nice and pretty. The Lion King is also very popular because it is the winner of six 1998 Tony Awards, including Best New Musical. The Lion King is a fantastic new musical unlike anything Broadway has ever seen.

There have been many shows that appeared on Broadway. Some of the longest running shows include The Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Chicago, The Lion King, and The Beauty and the Beast. The reason these shows are the most popular is because the audiences love them and they continue to have sold out performances. These shows have had the most performances on Broadway and these shows have also won many awards.

I have not seen a show on Broadway, but I know many people that have. I would love to see Mary Poppins on Broadway. I have seen the movie Mary Poppins and I love it so I’m sure I would love the Broadway production of it. I love all the songs in the movie Mary Poppins and I just really like the magical stuff that happens in it. Mary Poppins is currently playing on Broadway in New York, NY. It is directed by Richard Eyre and Matthew Bourne. The set and costume design is done by Bob Crowley. The choreographer is done by Bob Crowley. Mary Poppins is excellent for people at all ages. The main cast members include:

Mary Poppins (the main character, nanny) - played by Laura Michelle Kelly
Burt (a friend of Mary Poppins) – played by Christian Borle
Michael Banks (the son) – played by Matthew Schechter (alternating performances), Jeremiah Kissane (alternating performances), and Andrew Shipman (alternating performances)
Jane Banks (the daughter) – played by Juliette Allen Angelo (alternating performances), Alexandra Berro (alternating performances), and Cassady Leonard (alternating performances)
Mr. Banks (father) – played by Karl Kenzler
Mrs. Banks (mother) – played by Megan Osterhaus

Mary Poppins is a story about the Banks family. The Banks family lives in a big house in London on Cherry Lane. Mr. and Mrs. Banks have two children Jane and Michael and they need a nanny to look after them. Jane and Michael come up with the type of nanny they would like to have, which a very nice and fun nanny. Mr. Banks wants a strict nanny for the children. Marry Poppins floats into the scene with her umbrella. Mary Poppins appears at the Banks front door and she becomes the new nanny. Mary Poppins takes the children on many magical adventures and they love her. Mary Poppins does not just have an effect on the children, but some grown-ups as well.

I think it would be awesome to see Mary Poppins on Broadway. I loved the movie and I think I would love the Broadway production of it. One thing that the show Mary Poppins is known for is the saying supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Overall I just love the movie Mary Poppins and I would love to see it on Broadway. There are so many magical things about the show Mary Poppins that make it a favorite of many.
