Mary Poppins

We went to see Mary Poppins last weekend..it was AMAZING!! Hadley has been so excited about it, watching the movie non-stop, singing the songs non-stop! So we got all dolled up, went out for dinner before hand and then headed to the show.
Us before leaving for the show:

Hadley got so excited when we got closer to the theatre and saw all the signs/banners for Mary Poppins..she couldn't get into the theatre fast enough!

We got there in time to get our souvanirs, Hadley got an adorable shirt:


and then she chose a two tiered tour bus that was decorated with Mary Poppins on it over the doll of Mary Poppins..I wasn't going to complain, it was $20 less than the doll, but we were a little surprised by her choice!
We made it to our seats, we had Lodge Balcony Front Row seats. They were great! Hadley refused to leave her seat, she kept asking for a countdown to the show! The theatre was beautiful, they wouldn't let us take pics inside, but Jason snuck a few on his phone..these is the only ones that really turned out and Hadley is making her I don't want to be doing this face..the next one I got a smile (I think I told her Mary Poppins wouldn't come back until she smiled..aren't I evil!)




Hadley did great for the show, she got a little antsy at a few parts that were not THAT exciting..but during the rest she was on the edge of her seat bopping around, singing, and clapping at the end of every part. At intermission she started to cry because she didn't get to see Mary Poppins 'fly' up and she thought it was over! Then she told me she wished she could meet Mary Poppins to give her a big hug! The second half had her favorite song, "Step in Time",it is the one with all the chimmney sweeps dancing on the rooftops. As soon as that started she got so excited and was dancing in her seat!
After the show we were walking out and Hadley said, "Now I want to see Wizard of Oz."

It was great to take her to the play and watch her reaction to it. I think as a mom you get more excitement out of their joy of things than your own. We had a great night!

Hadley then went to school and told everyone about it. Her teacher said she talked about it in circle time, at lunch and even sang some of the songs to everyone! It melts my heart to know it meant that much to her!!
