The sets and costumes are sumptuous. This is not a production that skimps on details.This Mary makes the sun shine bright....Colin Maclean, EDMONTON SUN
Shamata and his technical wizards make certain all the magic in Mary's suitcase and umbrella work to keep the children and the child in all of us amazed and Cory Sincennes' set design moves rather seamlessly thanks to a revolving stage and cast members who are choreographed to help change them....Louis Hobson, CALGARY SUN
Shamata gives the show energy, humour and focus, greatly aided by an awesome rotating set (by Corey Sincennes), that alternates between the Banks' home, Mr. Banks' office, the bank where he works, the children's bedroom, a park down the street - and the rooftops of London, all at an excellent, no-nonsense tempo....STEPHEN HUNT, CALGARY HERALD
The sets are magnificent –The sets seamlessly integrate into this show as a whole – the small details that separate four-star very good from five-star excellence. The demanding lighting throughout the show is quite perfect. Graham Hicks, Hicksonbiz
