Opening night on Mary Poppins

Last night was opening night for the Australian cast of 'Mary Poppins' at the Capitol theatre in Sydney. According to the 'Philip Quast Guide', it was also the 300th performance overall. A marvellous achievement in itself. Well done to all.

And I found on the internet that ticketmaster Australia are doing a special digital download of the soundtrack if you book tickets for Wednesday and Thursday performances between the 11th May and 16th June. Click the link below to have a look, and also to see terms and conditions. Ideal for people travelling to, or living, in Oz :)
