Will Dick Van Dyke play the grandpa? I don't know. Messing with Mary Poppins is like messing with The Wizard of Oz or Grease to me.
None will compare to the original

That's in case if rock operas will also be allowed, as officially they are not the same as musicals. At least I've never heard/read someone refer to them as musicals.
A new Mary Poppins?? How can anyone be better than Julie Andrews? Okay I'll try to keep an open mind about this..
Ucar was, AFAIK, the oldest active competitor in ice dance, and had only switched from singles in his mid twenties. It's very impressive that he was able to find some measure of success nonetheless. His selection as athlete representative shows that his fellow skaters clearly hold him in high regard. Good luck to him and to Alisa in their future pursuits.Agafanova & Ucar have retired. Their announcement is here:

Not surprised, especially as he was voted to be an athlete representative & someone posted afterward that he could not take the position yet until he had finished skating. I have always found Alper Ucar to be one of those people who always looks like he loves the sport.
My favorite memory of this team is their beautiful FD from last season:

Wasn't Krylova the more technical coach? He would need to find someone else to work with.Who is left at Detroit Skating Club now? Are all the top senior teams making their way elsewhere now? I had thought Pasquale would continue on there after Krylova returned to Russia.
I was thinking that as I wrote that actually.Igor could sure use an in-house artistic coach.
I honestly wish Marina and Igor and Camerlengo would just come together and form a super Detroit team to combat Montreal and a possible resurgence of Russia with Yuri and Yaro being developmental coaches to compete with the Washington Figure Skating Club. I know too much crap has happened that Marina and Igor will never be a thing again and I'm not sure how they feel about Pasquale, but imagining the battle between the super camps would be really fun to witness as an ice dance fan.
Perhaps. Or maybe a brand new non-Detroit based center will emerge. With a new vision. Curious to see what someone like Massimo or Fabian could do with their own program.The Marvel vs. DC of skating.

Many people are waiting to see what the Washington Figure Skating Club will do now . . .
If the Shibs continue, I hope Scali stays in Canton.
Since Lewis/Bye are now with Marina, I don't think C/P would have any reason to move there. They seem to be progressing well each year. Time will tell how they progress in Senior.What about Carreira/Ponomarenko? Should they stick with Igor? I was thinking that they could benefit from a move to Marina.

I imagine every coach tweaks choreography over the season based on feedback, getting the levels, etc. Based on photo shoots, it seems that C/B had the same opening pose as Savchenko/Massot for awhile.But people say that Igor always modifies those choreographies, I don´t know if that is true.
Sometimes other choreographers don't put in enough arm flailing or partner tossing.But people say that Igor always modifies those choreographies, I don´t know if that is true.
