Magical Nanny

Hello, welcome back to my blog! So today's blog is about Mary Poppins. So one month and 51 years ago today the Mary Poppins musical was first released to the world, it was first released on August 27, 1964. This wonderful musical is about a nanny, Mary Poppins, who comes to work for Mr. Banks and his family. What I love about this musical is that, all of a sudden this perfect nanny comes into the musical by flying down holding her umbrella in her hand. She also comes with a bag, not just any old bag, a magic bag. This bag has all of her things in it. This magic bag has an unlimited amount of space in it. I also like how every thing she does she makes it seem like so much fun. She makes chores and tasks look like your playing a game. Which she says in the musical. "In every job that must be done there is an element of fun. You find the fun and snap, the jobs a game."  Later on she introduces us to her friend Bert, with him comes adventure. He takes them into one of his sidewalk drawings and introduces us to "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious".  Another quote is "First of all, I would like to make one thing very clear: I never explain anything." One of my favorite quotes is "There's the whole world at your feet and who gets to see it but the birds, the stars, and the chimney sweeps." Here is a picture of when she says the quote and one of their adventures.

I think they did an excellent job of casting Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins and DickVan Dyke as Bert. They are both wonderful actors who are very talented. So don't expect Mary Poppins to explain anything to you when she's your nanny.
