The wonderful Scarlett Strallen with the 2006 London Cast of Mary Poppins perform "Supercal" at "Party at the Palace". Scarlett will reprise her role as Mary Poppins in the Broadway production for 12 months from 9th October 2008.
I can't belive, that Scarlett is only the second Mary on Broadway.... She's practically perfect =) I am also a little disappointed that I saw her on Broadway. She was so awesome, that there will be NO other Mary for me! So, when they will bring Mary Poppins to Germany, I am not going to see it. It can't be better than the show on Broadway with Scarlett...
I've seen video clips of Scarlett and she seems like a lovely person. Her portrayal of Mary is very different from Ashley and Laura Michelle Kelly (the original London Mary).
LMK had a fallout with Cameron Macintosh to originate the role of mary on Braodway, but they patched things up and she starts as Mary tomorrow on Broadway.
No - Scarlett has never been an understudy Mary Poppins. She's played the role on three separate occasions now, twice in London (first taking over from the original Mary, Laura-Michelle Kelly, then returning after Lisa O'Hare - who DID understudy the part before taking over in her own right - left) and now on Broadway until October. Hope that helps!
I've been to London in 2006 and had the book with Laura Michelle Kelly and then a loose page shoved in with Scarlett Strallen. They didn't want to print new books apparently haha
When I saw it on Broadway, I saw Scarlett Strallen, but Jane and Michel Banks were played MUCH better people. (Especially Jane, she was EXELENT!) They were played by Alison Horowitz and Neil McCaffrey. Both very, very good.

The master copy I have is of much higher quality than this and the sound/video are synchronised perfectly. Uploading videos to RU-vid tends to cause a slight delay in the soundtrack. It's nothing to do with the performance itself.
Superb choreography. Just a shame the TV director ruined it for viewers by ridiculous over-use of the jib-crane camera. Do we really want to see mostly long shots of the backs of the crowd...I think not.
All the rules of English appear to suggest that it should in fact be two words - 'supercalifragilistic' and 'expialidocious'. '-istic' is usually a suffix and 'ex-' is usually a prefix, plus the letter C isn't usually pronounced hard when followed by an E. Still, why spoil a good song?
When Inverness Caledonian Thistle knocked Celtic out of the Scottish League Cup there was a headline that said: SUPER CALEY GO BALLISTIC CELTIC ARE ATROCIOUS
