Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Finally last week after a whole year of being in England I had the opportunity of going for a musical at a theatre here in Birmingham. It was something I was really looking forward to doing in England but unfortunately could never manage to find the company to make the trip.

One fine day just after dinner out of the blue Abu happened to be lamenting aloud about how he wanted to make a visit to the theatre before heading back to India. It took us all of the next ten minutes to book our tickets for the show of Mary Poppins playing at the Birmingham Hippodrome.

We were in for a total treat :). The live music, the choreography, the acting, the singing, the lighting were all absolutely fantastic. We were left spellbound for 90 minutes thoroughly enjoying every bit of the performance. With no retakes in the offing this was a perfect performance that sometimes gave me the feeling I was watching a movie

Every song was met with a thunderous applause and the end was met with a full five minute standing ovation.

A trip down to the theatres is something I would definitely recommend to everybody who comes down to England
