It was my 19-year old son and his girlfriend who convinced me to choose this as our first Broadway Musical on our first trip to NYC. Perfect choice for our 7-year old daughter who wanted to know post-show, "Is her name REALLY Mary Poppins?" A fantastic early Sunday evening and last-one-of-the-trip pick - we were already so well-entertained from American... More

I recently went to see Mary Poppins at the New Amsterdam Theater in NYC. When I first walked into the theater, it reminded me of going on the Tower of Terror at Disneyworld. The hallway, the old fashion looking elevators, the staff's outfits set the mood. Then, when I walked into the main part of the theater, it was beautiful.... More

Went to see "Mary Poppins" at the New Amsterdam theater. The theater is a fantastic site to behold. Such wonderful craftsman ship, that you don't see in today's theaters. The show was phenomenal. We sat in the 5th row, and it was an experience I won't soon forget. More

I've been to plenty of shows in the past in Sydney and the West End, but this was my first Broadway experience. The New Amsterdsm theatre is intimate, a little larger than theatres you'd typically find in the West End. It was still intimate enough to enjoy a fantastic performance of Mary Poppins. The whole production was fantastic. With only... More

We got our tickets through AAA's web site for under $60 plus a $10 merchandise voucher. We saw the musical at night. Our seats were great. We sat up on the second floor on the right hand side directly facing center stage. We could see the whole production perfectly. The musical was spectacular. I would highly recommend it for anyone...

We saw Mary Poppins here, and it was spectacular! The theater is ornate and very beautiful. I didn't see a category for this production, but it was a great time! It is performed in an authentic British accent, which may be a little difficult for some to follow. The dancing and high-flying are great fun! The balcony seats are not... More

I hadn't seen a show before but I was showing my daughter around New York for her first time there so I decided to get tickets to a Broadway production. My kids had seen the Disney film version many times as youngsters so I thought it was a safe bet. The theater is beautiful, and the show itself was really... More

We sat in the highest box (I believe it was called box H) and had a FANTASTIC view! Mary poppins flew right past our seats! There are only two seats in the box, so you don't have to worry about sitting next to anyone you don't know or disturbing others when your child has to go to the bathroom in... More

We saw Mary Poppins and couldn't believe how magnificent this was! From the exterior, to the room off the bathroom! The set of Mary Poppins was incredible, the performance almost flawless. The message was also inspirational. More
