Last night, Mary Poppins played its first performance at Playhouse Square's State Theatre and seemed to magically transferred audiences into the New Amsterdam Theatre on 42nd Street. It's not far-fetched to say that the touring production of 'Poppins' is the closest thing audiences will get to the real Great White Way for quite some time. The show?s set has been newly redesigned by the legendary Bob Crowley and all of the major special effects of the Broadway version have been recreated for this production. In addition, several cast members who originated their roles on Broadway are on the tour as well, including Ashley Brown as Mary and Gavin Lee as Bert.
