Everyone's Wild About Mary! Poppins, that is!

Tomorrow night is Opening Night for Disney's Mary Poppins at the Citadel Theatre, which means, for me, that this is an incredibly busy week.  In the midst of the preparations, however, I am really enjoying what I have been hearing from people who have seen the show in previews. 

A friend of mine wrote on FB today: Go see Mary Poppins at the Citadel Theatre! It's entertaining and magical (great use of stage and props)! I smiled, laughed, and applauded throughout the performance. You are never too old to have a happy childhood and Mary Poppins just might get you there. Small problems in moving complicated stage pieces around, but that happens in live theatre. 5/5

And on Twitter I've read the following:

The @citadeltheatre’s Mary Poppins is a "practically perfect" show that should be required viewing for #YEGarts fans

Intermission at Mary Poppins. Ah the pure magic of live theatre. Really enjoyable show. This MP productn > WSS tour @citadeltheatre #yegarts

It's very exciting to be getting ready for a show that already has so much buzz.  I have been lucky enough to see a few sections of the show and I am totally in love with the numbers Step in Time and SUPERCALIFRAGILISTIC.  I can't wait to see them again!  It's a hot ticket folks!  The Box Office has been buzzing - I'd buy sooner, rather than later if I were you!

I'm Sick, Again - It sucks...

But on the upside, I deleted Cafe World from my Facebook Profile and I imagine this might mean 1-2 hours of extra time every day... I am hopeful. Luckily we have plenty o' medication. Not so luckily it means I will not get to see Tight Rope at New Works in all it's glory. This is making me heart sick as well as body sick.

A positive thing to being sick is that I lay on the couch in my snuggie and watched the Opening Ceremonies last night. I am not that into the Olympics but the show was amazing. I saw so many things that I want to steal for future productions. I cried (Rick Hansen, Betty Fox, K.D. Lang). I laughed (that Slam Poet - must look up his name). I was in awe (flying across the prairie, skiing and snowboarding down the mountain, K. D. Lang). I wouldn't have seen it if I wasn't curled up on the couch in misery...

FaceBook is Addicting

I was invited to join FaceBook by my mother. I did and now I have a real problem. I am addicted and I don't get other stuff done! I have found a lot of friends and I am looking for more. CRAZY! For those who say computers are anti-social they do not understand how this works. What a great way to get in touch and find people you haven't seen for a while. I am lucky because I was a teacher and a lot of my students are on because it seems to be a "younger people" kind of thing, but I have found a lot of them and I think it is cool to see what they are up to. Anyhow, i hope I can curb my addiction and get back to work on my writing.
