Van Dyke will be reprising his Mr. Dawes role from the film; the character is not in the stage version, but will be written in.
Thoughts?

Here comes the most dreadful cockney accent the world has ever seen
I'm surprised he's still young enough to attempt pulling it off, to be honest.

Very interesting. Having seen the show a couple weeks ago, I was a bit disappointed they didn't include that character and that song. It was one of my favorite scenes in the film when I was a kid and it would've been awesome seeing him reprise the role onstage many years later, sans the old-age make-up!!

At least he admits it! (extras on the Mary Poppins DVD)
I would love to see him do that role, and although I didn't miss it in the stage musical, I don't think I would mind seeing it.
One question, though: the show is already 3 hours long... Are they going to cut something else (songs, roles) to make room for Mr. Dawes?
