Mary Poppins' Jolly Holiday at Disney World
Date: 12/19/2008
Gearing up for the upcoming national tour of Mary Poppins, Ashley Brown and Gavin Lee—who starred as Mary and Bert in the original Broadway cast—recently taped a specially staged version of “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” at the Magic Kingdom in Disney World, to be aired during the Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade on December 25. (It starts at 10am eastern on ABC.) Joining Brown and Lee were Broadway cast members Cassady Leonard and Neil McCaffrey as Jane and Michael Banks, as well as some 500 backup dancers. (A mega-huge ensemble, compared to the 42-person Broadway cast!) The national tour starts at the Cadillac Palace Theatre in Chicago on March 11.
