In case you didn’t know already, I’m a choir nerd. I grew up with music and I learned to love singing very quickly. Almost every year I was attending school, give or take a few, I was singing. In high school, I was in a performing choir. I loved the stage and I loved the feelings that music provided me. While I still love music and am working hard to pass that on to my son (it’s working), I miss the way performing feels, the rush it provides.
Now I just try and get it where I can.
In comes Mary Poppins.

This production is playing at the Ahmanson in downtown LA until February and if you get the chance to go, I highly recommend it. It is so visual and alive. The singing is fantastic and the sets are simple yet they help convey the story very well. If you enjoy musical theater, you will love this production.
They do an entire song with tap shoes on. COME ON PEOPLE. Tap shoes. How can you pass that up? You can’t. So go see this.
I need to get to the theater more often. Lucky for me I found someone who loves it just as much and is conveniently located in the heart of the theater scene. I can’t wait to visit Broadway (WICKED!! One day…) and to share my passion with someone I love.
Tonight I got to share it with my mom. If you follow me on Twitter, you know that she was recently in the hospital. She’s doing much, MUCH better and I’m so happy that we got to go see Mary Poppins together. I can’t thank those of you who sent prayers and positive thoughts our way this past weekend. It means so much.























Awww….I love a good play/show. shhhh, don’t tell anyone.
Glad to see your mom is doing better!

I am a theatre nerd. The first 3 years of my life after I graduated from university was spent backstage at the Magic Theatre in San Francisco. I wanted to pursue a life in the dramatic arts, but then bills had to be paid and here I am drowning in project plans. When I lived in London for a summer I went to the theatre every week to see something. Student tickets or standing room only tickets are so cheap there. The US needs to learn how to make theatre affordable for everyone.
So happy you enjoyed the show with your mom. xo
