What I liked

I loved how balanced the humorous scenes were with the more serious scenes. Everything transitioned in a way that I could follow and enjoy. Without giving any spoilers, there were certain song and dance routines that had me laughing out loud and delighted that there was a creative mind that came up with that. Alli Miller and Sarah Haworth keep churning out great idea after great idea, and this show takes it to the next level!

What I didn't like

My overall impression

Cherry Poppins hit another home run with this show, this time adding even more layers of depth and a whirling sense of “what world did they just transport me to??!” Witty and wonderful, the writing in this show kept me smiling in my seat. Not only do they showcase beautiful strong women with graceful choreography and unexpected, eclectic and artful song choices, but also do the leading men standout in this production with their sheer talent and comedic timing. The Poppins crew blends the best of entertainment seamlessly, time and time again, this time showcasing gorgeous Shakespearean costumes, subtle & smart references, and new delightful cast members. I recommend this show because of its bold and successful binding of acting, dance, music, humor, and sexiness!
