The acting was really well done! Especially the Banks children, George, & Mary Poppins. I appreciate the background changes as well, many productions have a hard time with it. A minor note: the delivery of some lines were off (either too late or too rushed). Also, the music overtakes the actors voices at times, I’d recommend working on projection, but this was overall very well done! 😁
My middle school did this today and they did better than I expected. I’m so proud of our drama department. Our actors for Michael and Jane Banks have PIPES! And our actors for Bert and Mary Poppins are phenomenal. But this performance is good, too.
It was great! I would like to note, that the techies did amazing. The stagehands and lighting was awesome. The music did override what the actors were saying a bit though. Sometimes the lines were too late or too rushed, but with how fast moving this production was I understand why. My biggest reccomendation though would be to work on the accents. The British accents did tend to slip a bit. The kids sounded American, and Bert would occasionally add an 'h' to some words when almost every h in a Cockney accent is silent. Otherwise than that they did a great job with maintaining the accents. The voices were great as well. Everyone was very well casted. Great job!
Definetly, I was in Mt. Olive’s version of this and I wanted to see what other schools were doing and this is defiantly different. But on the bright side we are the youngest group to do this play.
