Joys of blogging and Mary Poppins

Not so much, these days. Sad when I read all about the scintillating blogs about Melbourne in the Melbourne Magazine today. Seems people will read about fashion ad infinitum, books (yeah, well I get that) and sightseeing. Spirituality, not so much. Or, maybe other bloggers are more fun to read? Wittier? more informative? more scintillating? Naaaaaaah, surely not?

So I shall revel in my small but highly select, perceptive and altogether perspicacious readers and tell you that you are supercalifragelisticexpialidocious! Forgive me, but I am suffering the surfeit of seeing Mary Poppins last Sunday afternoon. It was wonderful. Even more wonderful were the faces of my grandchildren as they gazed at the stage and smiled with eyes like stars. Now that’s joy by the bucketload.

It is a truly marvelous show. Sparkling with wit, great songs, staging is fantastic. Altogether a 5 star theatrical experience. Wonder how long it will take for the littlies to think another theatrical experience is so wonderful? I still remember my first live musicals. The Pyjama Game with Toni Lamond and  Kismet with Hayes Gordon. I was hooked for life and still love them.
