Review of Mary Poppins Returns (2018) by Tony N — 27 Dec 2018
How good it is to see Mary Poppins again. I know the audience of 350 I saw it with in Traverse City on a rainy 3rd day of Christmas would heartily agree; they were captivated throughout and clapped loudly at End.
Parents, grand parents, kids and couples alike! I Strongly disagree in the NYT review as usual; the movie is well done, from music to characters to acting and direction. Maybe 1 number too long, maybe other small flaws, but I give MPR much credit for repeating the original without remaking it .
. it's not a replacement but an compatible addition. Blunt is outstanding. The musical style is (way)more like the original than modern Broadway... a daring and appreciated tactic. Good show all around!
