Mary Poppins
London's Mary Poppins is going under. I'm surprisingly upset about this. So what should I do when I'm upset? Post a crapload of vids celebrating Mary P, of course!
This is from a BBC Children in Need performance that the original cast did a few months after the musical premiered on West End. There are actually three sections of the performance, but for whatever reason my Gavin gets no love and his solo Chim Chim Cher-ee is nowhere to be found on youtube.
This is an abridged version of Practically Perfect, which isn't as fun as it is in the actual show, what with Mary's endless-bottomed carpet bag and all. Of note, Laura Michelle Kelly, the original Mary, is now Galadriel in the Lord of the Rings musical.
This is the last number, Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
My Gavin is ♥
From the Broadway version, in which Ashley Brown, bless her heart, tries so hard to fake an English accent but fails Dick Van Dyke-style.
This is a blooper just before they start singing A Spoonful of Sugar.
To finish off, back to the original London cast. This is the original trailer for the show.
