It was crazy to have all of them in the same room! The best thing about it was getting to have these friends and family at a show that I am so incredibly proud to have been a part of. Corry’s fuchsia lips! My world definitely unraveled in that moment. They even got to meet one of my high school classmates, who brought me flowers as bright as Mrs. On top of that, two of my college roommates came all the way down from Vermont and Massachusetts to see the show on the second night. To see family a few rows from the front during bows on opening night brought me joy almost to the point of tears. You don’t realize what a great feeling it is to see aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents in the audience until you haven’t had much of it in a few years. Nine shows is a lot to do at the end of the summer, but it was worth it to have so many of my friends and family (who haven’t seen me perform since high school) attend them. I got to take a bow alongside these five talented gentlemen at every show!įor the first time in a long time, I had a huge opportunity to invite all of my Connecticut family and friends to a show. With some of the fantastic people I worked with this summer waiting for the sold out matinee audience to be seated. I am overwhelmed by how kind and welcoming everyone at the Bradley Playhouse has been. I can honestly say that this show has been one of the best theater experiences of my life. Even stranger, this time next week I’ll be finished with my first week of classes.Īfter an absolutely crazy summer, Mary Poppins has come to a close and it’s time for me to move back to school. It doesn’t feel quite right that I’m not doing the same thing now. 2016įor a real good time, just tell your parents to take you to any one of the supercalifragilistically spectacular places listed below.įinally, what of the claim made in Mary Poppins that saying the word loud enough will cause the speaker to sound precocious? We do not have sufficient evidence to support that conclusion at this time.As I write this, I’m realizing that at this time last week, I was on my way to a pick-up rehearsal. David Harsanyi, Times Record News (Wichita Falls, Texas), 12 Mar. If Trump is going to start trade wars and raise tariffs, he should explain how his supercalifragilistic deals will both punish these countries and make goods cheaper for American consumers. These forms don't appear often, but when they do, they mean something along the lines of "wonderful" or "amazing," People also began to use a shortened adjective form, supercalifragilistic, as well as the adverbial supercalifragilistically. Robert Hendrickson, Smithsonian, July 1990
It was a big beautiful bubble, … a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious bubble. He crammed a generous chunk of the mix in his mouth and blew a bubble.
That cheer has inspired people to use it, like Helen Herman used her word, for things that are extraordinarily good or wonderful. The word supercalifragilisticexpialidocious in Mary Poppins is said to be simply a word used as "something to say when you have nothing to say," but the mouthful of nonsensical syllables certainly has brought cheer to audiences for decades. once you arrive at the end, you have said in one word what it would ordinarily take four paragraphs to explain." The columnist muses about her made-up word, describing it as including "all words in the category of something wonderful" and "though rather long and tiring before one reaches its conclusion. In fact, the earliest known written record of a variant is for supercaliflawjalisticexpialidoshus from an "A-muse-ings" column by Helen Herman in The Syracuse Daily Orange (Syracuse University), March 10, 1931. In the end, the court decided in the Shermans’ favor because, among other things, affidavits were produced that claimed that variants of the word were known many years prior to 1949, making the plaintiffs' claim unfounded. We had "precocious" and "atrocious" and we wanted something super colossal and that's corny, so we took "super" and did double-talk to get "califragilistic" which means nothing, it just came out that way.Ĭoincidentally, there was also a song called Supercalafajalistickespeealadojus that was written in 1949, and the authors of the song brought a suit against the Sherman brothers for copyright infringement. We started with "atrocious" and then you can sound smart and be precocious. "Obnoxious" is an ugly word so we said "atrocious," that's very British. Remember when we used to make up the big double-talk words, we could make a big obnoxious word up for the kids and that's where it started.
