A Supercalifragilistic Spectacle: Mary Poppins In Review.
Winds in the East, there's a mist coming in. Like something is brewing....and 'bout to begin.
Well, Mary Poppins actually has now begun in Auckland, I just couldn't resist using that lyric. We went to the show last Sunday & loved it so I thought I'd do a post about it for you all. Instead of doing a traditional review I've decided to compile a list of 10 reasons why you must go & see Mary Poppins in Auckland. There really are more than 10 reasons though!

Oh What A Night! Jersey Boys in Review.
The New York Times dubs this show "too good to be true", and it almost is. How often does a Broadway musical make its way to New Zealand? With the arrival of Jersey Boys in Auckland, legions of theatre goers will be rejoicing.
Jersey Boys is the award-winning Broadway musical which charts the rise and fall of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. In New Jersey you had three choices; join the army, get mobbed up or become a star. It certainly happened for these four, who became one of America's biggest pop sensations of all time. By the time they were 30, the band had sold 175 million records. How's that for an impressive statistic?

Mid Week Music
Oh Auckland and overseas readers, have I got a story for you this week! Take yourself back to 1960. Think of the Fab Four. No not THAT Fab Four, the Four Seasons!

Now you'll notice both of those songs come from Jersey Boys, the musical chronicling the rise and fall of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Four boys from the wrong side of the tracks became one of the biggest American pop music sensations of all time. Their songs are constantly covered and featured in films. Perhaps one of those above may be familiar to you.
Outside the Civic Theatre in Auckland.
Outside the Princess Theatre in Melbourne.
I'm heading along to the show once, perhaps twice this week and will be doing a review of it. So keep your eyes open or even adoring sometime next week.
