Review:
An old-fashioned musical with some memorable songs by Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman, especially "Supercali..." -- you know. Echo-ey, muddy sound and awful, shrieking, often incomprehensible kids, but there's good magic and a great three-level set and fantastic visual images by best-in-the-world designer Bob Crowley. Little dramatic tension here, but Ashley Brown charms as Mary; she's as close to Julie Andrews as you can get. Agile Gavin Lee is fine as Bert.
