I could not understand the dialogue and I was seated in the central section about 20 rows from the stage. I have suffered through poor acoustics at the Buell on opening nights when the sound is trying to be worked out -- but three weeks into a production! Give me a break! I also found this performance to be rote. I could tell the actors on stage were acting, rather than drawing me into the play. Only the bird lady did that for me. So no, my Mary Poppins experience was not "practically perfect" in any way. Susan I found Mary Poppins to be disappointing due in part to the poor acoustics of the Buell.
