Mary Poppins play in March

My two younger sisters, Dottie and Beth, have tickets for us to see the play Mary Poppins in March at one of the theaters in Boston.

In 1964, our parents brought us to the Gary Cinema in Boston to see the movie, Mary Poppins, the Disney musical extravaganza. We lived over 20 miles from Boston in Billerica, it seemed like it took forever to get to the theater district where the Gary Cinema was located. At the time Route 93 stopped at Medford and we had to take the Monsignor O'Brien Highway through, Medford, Somerville, Cambridge and finally Boston. Thinking back we all had to get dressed like we were going to the theater for a play; the theater district was alive with plays and movies, all the people, the excitement. Yes the movie was GREAT, I can still remember it even though I haven't seen it since that day we saw it in 1964. So seeing the play with my sisters should be fun and will bring back a lot of great memories for all of us.
