Does anyone remember the "temper temper" song in Mary Poppins the musical?

Did anybody see that very scary song in the stage musical, where the toys in the nursery come to life and grow much bigger than the children, and put the children on trial for losing their tempers? The original version was considered so terrifying, and lots of parents complained about it, that it was replaced with a nicer song "playing the game", so bonus points if you saw it before this happened.

I saw it on stage in about 2005. I was 25 at the time, so past the child fear stage; but I did think, wow, the idea of your own toys ganging up on you like that. If you dare, you can watch it on .

Do you think your DCs would be scared if they saw it?

Horrible! Yes my kids would’ve been scared when they were young - it would likely stay with them and scare them at home too. I can imagine my son would’ve had nightmares and imagined his toys coming to life as he went through a stage of not wanting to be alone upstairs as it was.
Glad they pulled it!!

I saw the new version last month and IMO the new one is just as terrifying!
