Ultimate and I looked at the Piranha Plant DLC, and thought, "Ah, Nintendo's version of Audrey II-WAIT. “I’m a rock climber, so heights don’t really freak me out too much, especially when I’m harnessed in," she said.Hey! So, I was looking at Super Smash Bros. "There are the roles that you get that they change you, as you act as them, and Bert has definitely been one of those."Īnd yes, Parker will get to "fly" as Mary Poppins. "There wasn't a whole lot I remembered from it except Dick Van Dyke's Bert.
#SUPERCAL BRAODWAY MOVIE#
Hoelscher said he only watched the movie a few times as a kid. "My senior year of high school is probably when I really started to feel a connection and a true love for the show," Parker said. She saw the stage musical version when she was a little older and even got a backstage tour. Parker said she didn't see the movie version until she was 12, when her father won a copy on the radio. "In my everyday role I think I've always thought of Mary Poppins as something I aspire to be as a teacher, somebody that the students love but look up to at the same time," she said. Parker said she gets regular practice at being Mary Poppins through her work at Kennedy Community School. “I think our Mary has found a nice happy medium between our beloved Julie Andrews and the P.L. The novel's Mary Poppins was more of a disciplinarian than the Andrews character. Mary Poppins is really the catalyst, but the children and the family are the ones that make the change." "The children have a beautiful arc in the show. The stage musical "centers around the family, and you learn more about Mr. Julian Fellowes, creator of "Downton Abbey," wrote the book for the musical, so it's charming, pithy and funny, Miron said. "The dancing gets me to sweat a lot, so I’m worried about it melting on my face, but we’ll see how it goes," he said. Hoelscher has to have a lot of "soot" on his face, though, which may make things interesting. I'm just trying to have fun more than anything." Is he up to speed? "As up to speed as you can get having little to no experience. "I've been logging a lot of hours trying to learn all that stuff," he said. He did some dancing for a production of "White Christmas," but this is the first time he's had to tap. Male lead Brad Hoelscher, who plays Bert the chimney sweep and Mary's friend, has been busy practicing, too. A lot of my practice time has been spent with the dancing." "But this was my first chance to do real technical dancing. Zumba and I are close friends," Parker said. Kayla Parker, who's playing Mary Poppins, said the dancing is fun but tricky.īefore "Mary Poppins," "I wouldn't say I had zero (dancing) skills. , and so to devote the time that was necessary to mounting a number like 'Step in Time' and 'Supercal' (referring to "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"), it takes a lot of extra effort," Miron said. "People are nurses and doctors and teachers and students. One of the toughest parts is just getting everyone in community theater together to practice at the same time. Tamm said if actors/dancers know it's going to be a big scene, they make sure to give it their all. "So then the people who show up to participate are people who really want to be here and have fun with this challenge." "The bar was already established before we began," she said. GREAT made it clear before auditions that the show would be using the Broadway choreography, Miron said. "We tried to keep as close as possible to the Broadway choreography that we were given," Collen said. That moment in the sun hasn't come without a lot of hard work, particularly with the choreography.
