Periodically I enjoy checking out the architecture of recently constructed large theaters. I’ve driven past this one for more than a decade, I suspect, but entered its precincts tonight for the first time.
This is the Wharton Center, on the Michigan State University campus, and we saw Disney’s Mary Poppins. The touring production did a great job of adapting to multiple stages—I found the costumes/staging/lighting outstanding, which augmented the singing/acting, and we all enjoyed the whole deal immensely.
