MARY POPPINS: A MACARONI KID RECOMMENDATION

Get the Scoop on the Show Now Playing at the Ahmanson in Los Angeles

By By Harold & Sharon Rosenthal August 26, 2012
This week we got the opportunity to see  Mary Poppins, the live stage production in Los Angeles at the Ahmanson Theatre and it was a wonderful treat for my husband and I. We had an amazing time and this live stage production is a great way to introduce the kids to the "theatre".

I found the Ahmanson very easy to get in and out of, coming from Ventura County. At the entrance of the theatre they sell boxes of candies that you pick out and fill like one of those old fashioned candy stores, which I thought was pretty cool and the kids seemed to love. 


While watching Mary Poppins, the candy store has a really great tie in to the show and I loved the prominance of Kites in the show. You can even buy a Mary Poppins Kite to take home.


The show was wonderful, at about 2 1/2 hours long I think it would have been too long for my 5 year old but my 7 year old would have absolutely loved it. I thought the story was very fun and the music was very catchy and we were singing along with all the characters. 

The show plays at the Ahmanson until September 2nd and you can get tickets for as low as $49 per person for select performances.  To purchase tickets call 213.972.4400 and mention the Family Friendly discount code SUGAR or visit www.centertheatregroup.org/SUGAR
