action and animated movie which premiered in 1964 and became an instant classic forty years later the stage musical mary poppins marking the first collaboration of sir cameron mcintosh with disney theatrical became a smash hit here in london with miss scarlett stralin carrying the carpet bag [Music] however on the other side of the pond in 2006 the show began six years of success on broadway where the first to take in hand that famous umbrella was miss ashley brown scarlett you're up first [Applause] by the time the wind has flown the weathering around i'll show you if i can no matter what the circumstance for one thing i'm renowned my character is i'm practically perfect in every way practically perfect so people say each trait is great and patently sound i'm practically perfect from head [Music] well there's my credentials perhaps you have a few questions not temperamental never grouchy or gruff the very thought will you stay tender when the growing gets rough quite the contrary do you read stories without a big fuss or have objections to playing with us oh i like games but i choose them somehow [Music] you're practically perfect in every way [Music] i'm practically perfect and here's my name by the time i leave here you all will be the same you'll be practicing [Music] we will be practicing perfect every way [Music] [Applause] all that it takes is a spark then something as plain as a park becomes a wonderland all you have to do is why it's a jolly holiday with mary mary makes your art so larry when the day is gray and ordinary mary makes the sun shine bright oh happiness is blooming all around her the daffodils are smiling at the dark when mary holds your hand you feel so grand your heart starts beating like a big brass band we have enough brass for all of us oh it's a jolly holiday with mary no wonder that it's mary that we love it's a jolly holiday with you but a gentleman like you are for you though you're just a diamond in the rough part underneath your blood is blue you'd never think oppressing your advantage for parents is the hallmark of your career a near lady sweet gentility is crystal clear oh it's a jolly holiday with you but a charlie charlie holiday with you now that the ladder of life has been strung you may think a sweeps on the bottommost rung though i spend me days in the ashes and smoke in this whole wide world there's no happier blow in each and too many chimps a sweep is as lucky as lucky can be chim chim and each and chimney chimp [Music] so blow me a kiss and that's lucky too [Applause] early each day to the steps of saint paul's the little old bird woman comes in her own special way to the people as she calls come by my backs full of crimes [Applause] [Music] if young ones are hungry their nests are so bare all it takes is stubborns [Music] feed the birds [Music] feed that's what she cries [Music] the saints and apostles look down as she says [Applause] [Music] someone shows that he cares [Music] though her words are simple and few listen listen she's calling [Music] is [Music] [Music] toppings [Music] [Applause] so [Music] when trying to express oneself it's frankly quite absurd to live through lengthy lexicons to find the perfect word a little spontaneity keeps conversation keen you need to find a way to say precisely what you mean supercalifragilisticexpialidocious even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious if you say it loud enough you'll always saw precocious supercalifragilist [Music] [Music] they might have used it once or twice i'm sure egyptian pharaohs would have grasped it did not chip then every single pyramid would bear this hieroglyph oh supercalifragilisticexpialidocious not animals seem so ferocious [Music] there's no need for dismay just summon up this world and then you've got a lot to say pick out those eighteen consonants and sixteen thousands and put them in an order which is [Music] is i o u.s [Music] oh is [Music] is is [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] a kingdom of isolation the wind is hounding like this swirling stone inside i couldn't keep it in heaven [Music] in don't knows them see be the good girl you always have to be concealed don't fear don't let them know well now they know [Music] [Music] [Music] anyway [Music] it's funny how some distance makes everything seem small and the fears [Music]
