James and the Giant Peach Jr. at the Children's Playhouse of MD

The boys had such a great time at Mary Poppins at the Children's Playhouse of Maryland that we were definitely ready to get the boys back to the theater.  We had never read or seen the movie so we borrowed the Disney version to get us up to date on the story.

We arrived and were treated to seats very close to the stage.  The kid actors were again very good and a lot of them had been in Mary Poppins so there were familiar faces.  The boys' favorite part of the play, like the movie, were the animals that help James get from the UK to New York. 

They again offered the ability to get autographs from the cast.  The boys made sure to secure all of the bugs, including the grasshopper, Miss Spider, ladybug and the centipede. Their favorites were the Miss Spider and centipede.  Several of the members of the cast remembered Jackson from all the waving at Mary Poppins.  He definitely makes an impression on others...

This was the narrator.  We all remember seeing him in Mary Poppins.  James Henry Trotter had a lot of people surrounding him.  The boys were able to get autographs but pictures were not that clear. James was also in Mary Poppins. 

Spiker and Sponge were fantastic.  The boys were unable to get pictures with them because they are James' evil aunts.  They did such a great job playing their roles.  We hope they didn't take it too personal that they couldn't do a picture!
