And Kate had given the explanation that it had been the shows idea. She further told that she had received a random phone call when she had been on her way out to the show that if she had been willing to fly. Kate had asked in return if it meant flying like Mary Poppins on Broadway and the response had been Yes
Tony Dovolani who had been Kates Dancing partner in the tenth season had said about Kate that she had been very excited regarding expecting the flying challenge. He had said to Shaun that Kate is surely a daredevil and that nobody could understand that they had had an awesome week not only practicing for their act but also interrupting other practices as well.
The character of Mary Poppins had become famous all across the world by Julie Andrews in the mid sixties, in the year 1964 to be precise. The character had been so "English" that it seemed just impossible that it could have been dreamt up by an Australian. The biographer Valerie Lawson shares this view.
But like several other Australians that had been living during the 1920s and also the 1930s, Travers had seen England as the motherland and took no pride in the fact that she was an Australian by birth. She had set sail for England when she had been 25 years old.
Although she admits that she had not been blown at the doorstep of her house by a gust of wind with an umbrella over her head, but still her daughter's new nanny had exuded much charm and Mary Poppins-ness.
Although in the start the idea of having a stranger looking after her baby had not been very comfortable and she had imagined the characters of Rebecca De Mornay in "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle" and Glenn Close in "Fatal Attraction" (that had been negative characters that had serious psychotic problems hence the discomfort of bringing an unknown nanny into their house.
She had seriously thought that having a permanent nanny will make her guilty owing to her leaving her daughter's care to somebody else but in reality the effect had been quite opposite.
Now she has somebody who can play and have fun with her baby whereas she can go on with her own work. Plus in the short time of Mary Poppins stay with them she has managed to make her sit still long enough to have her hair tied in a ponytail. Get your cheap mary poppins tickets before they sold out.
