Mary Poppins flies into the room:
Everyone instantly turns into a kid again

I know everybody's talking about Julie's reaction, but for me it's when seeing people like Blake Shelton and everyone else light up like a Christmas tree the minute Mary starts soaring over them; just a wonderful moment.

I loved how Julie's face lit up when she saw Mary Poppins!

As a grown man of 38, this made me cry. 'Mary Poppins', the magical Nanny holds so many wonderful happy memories of my childhood.

Seeing that Ms.Carol and Ms. Julie have been lifelong friends is just the medicine I needed.

At this moment in time when Mary Poppins gliding above the audience nodded her head in respect to an enthralled Julie Andrews, we all reverted back to that moment in time when, as children, we first met and fell in love with Mary Poppins...and Julie Andrews. Magical innocence just rushes through you and for that "moment" we are eternally grateful. Thank you, Ms. Andrews. You are a world treasure.

I’ve watched several clips about this show but as soon as Feed the Birds started playing and Mary came flying down, I lost it 😭 Julie Andrews is truly one of a kind 💜

Thrilling and nicely done. The history, the legend, beautiful visuals, and the music make it so impactful. Julie's performance as Mary Poppins will live in our hearts forever.

[JollyJambalaya]

Perfectly portrayed. The costume, the graceful flight, the expressions on actress Brandi Burkhardt's face as Mary Poppins. Sensational way to showcase this iconic role of Julie's.

Delightful tribute to Julie Andrews!
And, lest we forget, the magical music of the Sherman brothers, immediately recognizable and transports those who love the film right back into it.

Way to make a grown man cry like a baby. Mary Poppins is a major part of my childhood. This was absolutely magical. God bless you Julie and Carol.

Now I'm crying again.

During an interview years ago, Julie Andrews reported that one of the wires which held her up in the Mary Poppins movie suddenly snapped and she went crashing to the studio floor. It was at that moment that everyone on the set learned that Julie can swear like a sailor. Her dirty jokes are what attracted Blake Edwards to her at a party. Well, she DID grow up in theaters.
