Tauranga Musical Theatre's Mary Poppins was "practically perfect" in every way.
Hats off to the theatre group for its remarkable production of the Broadway musical, which opened on Saturday night and continues at Baycourt until October 7.
It's hard to describe TMT as an amateur theatre society after the Mary Poppins experience - they had singing of the highest calibre, impressive acting, beautiful costuming and great choreography all amplified by Baycourt's outstanding sound and lighting elements.
Mary Poppins was simply joyful with warm fuzzies all around.
Special mention needs to be made of the set. Gasps could be heard from the audience when the half-million-dollar custom-made multifaceted set started transforming.
