Today’s the Jolly Holiday!
I can’t help it. I’m really excited.
I shouldn’t be. I’m a grown man, for goodness sake.
But today Mary Poppins opens on Broadway.
Now, don’t get me wrong–I’m very wary of what they may have done to this show. In fact, the word that they have actually changed the canonical Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious has me fuming. (Listening to it, I personally think it’s too slow and not an improvement). But I can’t wait to hear what they do with “Feed the Birds” and “Chim Chim Cheree.”
You can supposedly hear some of the new stuff over at NPR. However, right now the streaming media is not working for me. If you can get it to work, please let me know what you think. The Official Site has a video, though.

Nice! I would totally go see that. Hope it gets good reviews!
It sounds like it’s going to be fun. I agree, they did slow Supercalifragelistiexpialidocious down a lot. Which is sad. But maybe it’ll make up for it?
I liked what they did with Jolly Holiday. They added a counter-melody by the kids complaining about having to go to the boring park.
