| Ashley Brown and Gavin Lee in Mary Poppins |
I've just read an exciting news from Broadwayworld.com that Ashley Brown, the original Mary Poppins, will return to the role on Broadway starting March 8th until July 17th at the New Amsterdam Theatre, filling in for Laura Michelle Kelly who will take a brief hiatus for a film project. Ashley Brown will reunite with Gavin Lee who originated the role of Bert both in the West End and on Broadway.
Since I'll be going to Broadway in April, I am now very much looking forward to seeing Mary Poppins especially with Ashley Brown and Gavin Lee. Ashley was pretty much a Disney veteran and by far one of my favourite female Broadway stars, having seen her live as Belle in Beauty and the Beast at Lunt-Fontanne Theatre back in 2006 and owning a recording of 2005 Original Cast of Disney's On the Record where she simply shines!
