According to the Sunday Times of London, the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics on Friday will prove to be quite a performance.  It is rumored to include a choreographed hospital bed dance by approximately 100 children, dancing villians like Cruella De Vill, and then finally a 40-foot Voldemort arriving with dozens of Dementors who will battle about 30 Mary Poppins' flying in on umbrellas to save the day.  

The opening ceremony is being directed by Danny Boyle, who has kept the details of this $42 million show a secret.  BroadwayWorld is excited to see the the final details of this spectacular event.

The final act will feature various performances leading up to a performance of "Hey Jude" by Paul McCartney.
