"Step In Time" from MARY POPPINS on Broadway

[@disneymusicals]

Just to clarify, Gavin Lee originated the role of Bert in London in 2004, then carried it across the ocean to Broadway, and is now playing Bert in the MARY POPPINS National Tour opposite Ashley Brown, the original Mary on Broadway. Gavin Creel joined the London cast as Bert in 2006 opposite Scarlett Strallen, who now plays Mary on Broadway. Gavin Creel is now starring as Claude in HAIR on Broadway.

[@kavyb1730]

Disney On Broadway thanks for clearing up all the confusion! 😂 And thank you for these wonderful musicals!

[@breezza_time]

Do Gavin's talents just never end? I mean he's tap danced upside down, tap danced with four legs, like how is this man so talented???

[@manuelorozco7760]

He was brilliant as Squidwird

[@mollyeisenback]

I cannot believe this is the same guy that played Squidward in the SpongeBob musical. Dude’s got range.

[@blizzard2oo]

He appeared on episodes of "White Collar" as a con man

[@jazratchetclank2766]

Hey I have a friend that has the same name

[@thattheatrenerd1418]

Also singing upside down, the amount of breath control needed…

[@nekochan393]

When you think about it, they are tap-dancing on a roof at night.they are bound to wake up practically everyone.

[@ashlynnheller8400]

[@luisvalle81]

So while New York had the Newsies Britain had the Chimney sweeps

[@ashlynnheller8400]

luis valle Yeah.I wondered why this song seemed so famillar.

[@starcxtcher]

“Ain’t it a fine life?” “Sure is, mate. We step in time!” “We... We carry the banner...” “OI”

[@abbigibson6616]

luis valle and revolting children

[@magicamadeye]

Surprisingly both are by disney

[@fondetgi]

Yeah except the newsies went on strike, but the chimney sweeps do their job because they have parties on the roof and go upside down

[@fishkybuns]

Gavin Lee's little head wiggle when he dances makes me so happy.

[@zackstark24601]

Its Amazing He Actually Squidward in the Spongebob Musical and He's Good #GavinLeefortheTony

[@Tomwebsterart]

My jaw still drops every time Gavin tap dances upside down. Such a simple effect for the theatre, yet so effective

[@gmstone1998]

In my opinion, it seems that this song's purpose is showing Jane and Michael's revelation of looking beyond stereotypes and bridging the gap between the two social classes. This is especially clear from 4:46-5:20 when they reach out to shake hands. What a cool moment!

[@FlamingFox12]

Gina Stone I think one of the most important changes that Jane and Michael go through in this show is learning not to judge a book by it's cover. Feed the Birds in act one expressed this thought just as beautifully as this number. My school did this musical this year and I'm crying now that it's over, best time of my life.

[@noneofyourbusiness9436]

Gina Stone see I think feed the birds is about that as well but feed the birds also shows you that even though the bird woman is in rags she's still a good person

[@starcxtcher]

Bert also may have coaxed the kids into shaking hands with the sweeps because of his line “Good luck will rub off when he shakes hands with you.”

[@mehitabel1290]

Just wait! In the next production Jane and Michael will be black kids in wheelchairs and the Pigeon Lady will have a moustache like Hitler and they will KILL her and there'll be a huge chorus line at the end, where everyone swaps gender as the chord changes.......

[@lemurlover7975]

[@nickthedreamer4434]

*In Mr. Banks Voice:* "And tap-dancing on the ceiling? I ask you! Having tap-dancing on the ceiling...and highly questionable outings of every other kind!"

[@mjbrash272]

Everyone must realize that if they had stuck to the movie structure it would have so much shorter. Theatre isn't about copying something, but rather emulating the feel of the original, while going deeper into the story specifics. As for Gavin Lee...he is magical. Believe me,I am a Dick Van Dyke die-hard. When I went to see the show I thought no one else could ever pull Bert off...but he did. Gavin Lee has charm and is an amazing dancer. As for the dark lighting, this is a video of a live performance and does not show all the real lighting they use during an actual show,I saw it...the lighting was great. The reason they changed many of the songs was to fit the longer musical theatre format- so they could do cool things like massive tap numbers and extensive choreo. I love the movie truly, but it is relatively easy going choreo-wise compared to a standard Broadway show. Comparing the movie to the stage show is like comparing apples and oranges. Don't. :)

[@calb6594]

You said this so well. I got Mrs. Banks in our production of Mary Poppins, and every says "oh so your the 'vote for woman' lady" and then I have to explain to them that theater is not the same as the movie.

[@drummerhere]

I remember holding my breath the entire time Bert was dancing on the ceiling. Then screaming at the top of my lungs with excitement when the song was finished. MAGIC!!!

[@priyaravindran6150]

I saw this show in person, and it was nothing short of spectacular. I love the movie, but these people are singing and dancing live. They do the entire show in one go, with no retakes, day after day. If you think about the complexity of these dances and songs, it's nothing short of unbelievable that these actors were able to be so convincing live. Not only that, they do not miss a beat! The stunts are magnificent too.

[@PrincessMeggala0913]

GAVIN!!!!!! That ceiling trick always makes me gasp! I absolutely love this show! :)

[@TheMoustachedunicorn]

We were shown this in tap class a few days ago and I cried. Absolutely beautiful, what an excellent re-imagining of an iconic movie moment.

[@caro_reynolds2005]

I'm a simple person. This makes me happy every time I watch it

Whenever I'm sad or angry for some irrational reason and I don't want to cry I come hear. Which is why I'm here now. It's my happy song and it works.

I saw Mary Poppins in Brno Czech republic. I was so excited by this performance. Great music, great actors, great dance numbers. I liked it so much that I visited Mary Popins 5x during one month.... :-) :-) :-)

[@traditionalist94]

Kdybyste měla porovnat úroveň brněnské produkce Mary Poppins s londýnským West Endem nebo s Broadwayí, co byste řekla? Přiznám se, že jediný muzikál, na kterém jsem byl v divadle, byl muzikál Oliver! (název se opravdu píše s vykřičníkem), kvůli němuž jsem jel v roce 2010 do Londýna. Vím, že muzikál Oliver! se hrál i v Brně o několik let dříve. Z brněnské produkce muzikálu Oliver! jsem viděl pár fotografií na internetu a podařilo se mi získat CD. Můj dojem: dospělí herci solidní, dětští herci už méně [aby některé členy Faginova gangu a dokonce i Lišáka (v originálu Artful Dodger) hrála děvčata, to mi připadá na profesionální produkci příliš], dle kostýmů se skoro nedalo poznat, kdo je kdo (měl jsem dojem, že zašli do skladu a vybrali první lepší), kulisy nic moc. Zde je možno vidět pár fotografií z brněnské produkce: www.mdb.cz/inscenace/62-oliver Zde je možno vidět propagační video k londýnské produkci: kzbin.info/www/bejne/paazXoyDict2jpY Je mi celkem jasné, proč muzikály u nás nemohou dosahovat londýnské úrovně [Pan Cameron Mackintosh investoval do přípravy londýnské produkce muzikálu Oliver! deset miliónů liber. Muzikály se u nás nehrají v divadle osmkrát týdně, tudíž není možno přestavět kompletně celé jeviště pro daný muzikál. Zřejmě chybí dostatek talentovaných a trénovaných hochů, z nichž je možno vybírat pro chlapecké role, a tak jsou nahrazováni děvčaty.], ale zároveň mám dojem, že ten, kdo jednou viděl muzikál v Londýně, bude velmi váhat, zda jít na muzikál u nás.

[@minissa2009]

This is a real re-envisioning, but I can't say one is better---the aesthetic is very different. Had not conceived of chimney sweeps tapping, and kept thinking "'Stomp' in Time" or "Stop Time in Time." The voices and choral work are stunning. I just wish video editors for dance didn't feel like they had to switch frames every 1-2 measures---destroys your ability to see overall use of the space, which is kind of what dance is about...

[@xxwhispersxx2856]

The stage production changes the dance but it also remains very respectful to the original? While you have Cats, who had extraordinary choreography and then after Gillian Lynne died, a new guy came in and threw out everything she had worked so hard on for 30 years and now the show is complete trash.

[@keyblader007]
