Mary Poppins Is Coming To The Detroit Opera House!

Did you know I'm a big fan of musical productions? There's something about the magic of theater that I just adore. Each time I'm able to see an off-Broadway play, I look forward to losing myself in the story line and soaking in every second of the performance. 

Now, there are many productions that come through Detroit and I don't get to see every one that stops here. However, this December I'm looking forward to an amazing show. I'm going to see Mary Poppins! (This is a story I know well as I watched the movie countless times when I was little.)

You're stoked for me, right? Don't worry. I'll be sharing my full review following the show. 

For now, please read the press release I've included for more details and information on tickets and show dates/times.
