Ack! I thought NY audiences knew everything about Broadway!

I wouldn't have asked them, though. I would have said Beauty and the Beast because I know it was ahead of Lion King, and I never heard of Little Mermaid or Mary Poppins on Broadway.

Depends upon how long you intend to postpone your trip, Merritt.

OK, if this is true why hasn't ES spoken about it? I would have had no idea, and I don't think the audience would, either, so let's JTQ.

ES has been silent about his entire life story before he met Annie.

Maybe we can make up that story while we're making one up for Biskit. :mrgreen:

Mary Poppins was a relatively recent attempt to cash in on a known entity opening on Broadway in 2006. Came through Atlanta last year on tour.
