Reviews
NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW:
"In this high-pedigree show — produced by the Disney company and Cameron Mackintosh and staged by the eminent British director Richard Eyre and the wunder-choreographer Matthew Bourne — every act of sorcery comes with a fortune-cookie life lesson attached. The operating philosophy, it would seem, is that a spoonful of spectacle helps the medicine go down."

NEWSDAY REVIEW:
"A quaint, muddled, beautiful-looking musical with plenty of spectacle but even more emotional distance."
Full review not available.
VARIETY REVIEW:
"The English love nannies and all talk thereof -- not for nothing is Britain often referred to as the "nanny state" -- and they won't be the only ones who love the long-aborning stage musical of Mary Poppins as long as there are children willing to spell "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." First stage collaboration between Thomas Schumacher's Disney Theatricals and Brit mogul Cameron Mackintosh brings acres of producing know-how to the table, drawing its creative team from film (book writer Julian Fellowes), the subsidized theater (director Richard Eyre) and a gifted if essentially unknown cast, which flies with the sort of material that never dates: the mysteriously airborne Mary Poppins as a healing force."

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS REVIEW:
"Nobody does magical entertainment like Disney - except Cameron Mackintosh. The two have teamed up for the musical Mary Poppins, which opened last night on Broadway and won't be going anywhere for a long time. It is a roof-raising, toe-tapping, high-flying extravaganza"

THE NEW YORK POST REVIEW:
"LOVELY! With her carpetbag, a parrot-headed umbrella for airy transport and the rare ability to slide up banisters, the inimitable heroine of Mary Poppins put down and took off at the New Amsterdam last night, courtesy of Cameron Mackintosh, Walt Disney and the original author, P.L. Travers."

"What's the opposite of supercalifragilisticexpialidocious? Let's try saderkindadisappointmentidioticocious."

WASHINGTON POST REVIEW:
"As Mary levitates to meet the eyes of ticket holders in the upper balcony of the New Amsterdam Theatre, where Mary Poppins opened Thursday night, you might be surprised to find yourself wondering: Why do so few other moments in this lavish show make us feel that we're on a particularly jolly holiday?"
