If the word supercalifragilisticexpialidocious isn't in your vocabulary by now, then you not only must have missed out on growing up wondering why chores and nannies looked like so much more fun in the movies than they do in real life, but you have clearly also been deprived of the classic Disney movie "Mary Poppins."

However, if it isn't in your vocabulary by the time Cameron Mackintosh's Broadway production of "Mary Poppins" floats out of Denver next month, then you've not only missed out on a perspective altering view of chores (and life), but you have truly also been deprived of a piece of theatrical magic.
