Mary Poppins Comes Back

Product Information

Actually Pretty Funny: She and Mrs. Brill humor Mrs. Banks by singing the suffragette song with her, in perfect harmony.

Insane Admiral: Played for laughs; he likes to fire off a cannon every morning from the roof of his home in suburban London and shoots at the chimney sweeps with fireworks believing they are "Hottentots". These children have been spoiled! I've arrived here just in time. By chance, I brought the punishment that best befits the crime." Stage actresses: Rosemary Ashe (Original London play), Ruth Gottschall (Original Broadway play) Judi Connelli (Original Australian play) Bad People Abuse Animals: Her pet lark doesn't seem too happy about being birdcaged for two years, at any rate. We can only wonder what Miss Andrew does to her pets, given how she treats children. Hidden Depths: After the chimney sweeps surprise her, she starts dancing with one of them. It turns out she has a good rhythm! Motor Mouth: As typical for a character played by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Best on display during his lengthy verse about the Dirty Rascal during "The Cover Is Not The Book."Travers never married. [17] Though she had numerous fleeting relationships with men throughout her life, she lived for more than a decade with Madge Burnand, daughter of Sir Francis Burnand, a playwright and the former editor of Punch. They shared a London flat from 1927 to 1934, then moved to Pound Cottage near Mayfield, East Sussex, where Travers published the first of the Mary Poppins books. Their relationship, in the words of one biographer, was "intense", but equally ambiguous.

fernandan on Reading The Wheel of Time: Taim Tells Lies and Rand Shares His Plan in Winter’s Heart (Part 3) 2 hours agoJerk with a Heart of Gold: At least before character development sets in. He's stubborn, stern, emotionally distant and a control freak, but he means well, cares about his family and wants to see his children prepared for the future. The Pollyanna: In the film. The women's right to vote still has a way to go but she never gives up. Downplayed in the musical. George doesn't see why Winifred has such a tough time "being Mrs. Banks." More smug, acerbic, and whimsically delightful Mary Poppins. In this series of 10 episodes, Jane and Michael (and the twins) are slightly older, and they are joined by their new baby sister, Annabel. Her chapter was by far the most compelling, sending shivers down my spine with her newborn's solemn 'I am earth and air and fire and water. I come from the Dark where all things have their beginning." Wow.Overall, though, it's more of the same as the first, and some of the themes (one of the children decides to be horribly naughty - oh no, what happens!) are just reimaginings of chapters out of the original. Since I read both volumes together as a child, I appreciated touching base with some of the episodes I remembered, but I'm ready to be done with Mary Poppins now. Rochlin, Margy (2014-01-03).
