Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!!!
Today I trekked into the city with my Mum and sisters to see Mary Poppins at the Capitol Theatre.
I got in nice and early, an hour before the matinee kicked off, so that I could take my time walking from the car park to theatre and could grab a decaf coffee.
Despite the 'breeze' (some would say gale!) the sun was nice and warm and I only ate my hair a few times!
The show was fantastic! I really enjoyed it and so did everyone else. Verity Hunt-Ballard played Mary Poppins and she was really good, you could tell she had seen the movie a few times, she had Julie Andrews moves and mannerisms down!
Marina Pryor was excellent as usual as Mrs.Banks and the kids who played Jane and Michael were also good. I was a little disappointed with Matt Lee as Bert, but the fabulous Dick Van Dyke is a hard act to follow and he did a gallant job of trying to fill his shoes.
The only other thing that was a little disappointing was the dancing, particularly in the chimney sweep roof-top sequence. That is one of my favourite parts of the movie, and the dancing in that sequence is just out of this world so I expected a little more from the dancing in the show. But apart from that I really enjoyed the show and I would highly recommend, even if you were only slightly impressed by the movie.
After the show we headed over to the Meat & Wine Co. in Darling Harbour for a lovely dinner. We had a bit of time to kill so we had a quick wander through the Harbourside Shopping Centre so that we could use an ATM and find a bathroom (I swear this baby is sitting directly on my bladder!).
While I was in the bathroom my sisters were in Cotton On Kids and found some super cute baby T's, which, I have to admit I just couldn't resist, esepcially at 2 for $20. Considering I haven't actually bought anything for the baby yet apart from a couple of finger puppets I found in Ikea, I don't feel guilty about spending money we really don't have. But, hey a baby's got to wear something right!
Dinner was lovely, I had the ribs and chips, satisfying my craving for some crunchy hot chips. I just can't seem to get enough of potato these days!
All in all it was a really great day and I really enjoyed spending it with my lovely sisters and Mum. Special thanks to Mum for getting me the ticket and paying for dinner as my birthday present.

I wish they had this in an adults size too, I would have got Dave one to match! He's gonna be jealous, he loves dinosaurs! |
