One of the great joys of working in theater is the fact that it is live, and things can easily go wrong, turn into improv, etc. Tonight this was a huge case and point because during the finale of the show, Mary Poppins didn't fly. One of the times I saw Mary poppins on tour, the kitchen restoration didn't work. With all of the magic, there is more of a chance for things to go wrong but that just makes it more exciting. Actors and sometimes even musicians have to be able to respond to any sudden change quickly during the show and the coolest times is when we can do it without the audience knowing that there was ever a problem. I love this job because live theater can only be practically perfect.
