Mary Poppins Grinds to a Halt Oct. 25; Performances Resume Thursday

Playbill News: "At the 10th of 31 planned previews for the musical at the New Amsterdam Theatre, the mechanized Banks house set came to a halt about 10 minutes into Act Two. Thomas Schumacher, head of Disney's theatrical division, the show's co-producer with Cameron Mackintosh, announced a brief intermission so the problem could be explored, but the remainder of the performance was cancelled soon after."
