Mary Poppins Returns original Motion Picture Soundtrack

December 11, 2018

The “Mary Poppins Returns” original motion picture soundtrack is now available from Walt Disney Records. The album features all-new original songs by Tony Award® and GRAMMY® winning composer Marc Shaiman (“Hairspray,” “South Park”) and Tony winner and three-time Emmy® nominee co-lyricist Scott Wittman (“Hairspray,” “Smash”).

Directed by Oscar®-nominated, Emmy® and DGA Award-winning director Rob Marshall, the film stars: Emily Blunt as Mary Poppins; Lin-Manuel Miranda as Jack; Ben Whishaw as Michael Banks; Emily Mortimer as Jane Banks; Julie Walters as Ellen; Pixie Davies, Nathanael Saleh and Joel Dawson as the Banks children; with Colin Firth as William Weatherall Wilkins; and Meryl Streep as cousin Topsy. “Mary Poppins Returns” will be released in U.S. theaters on December 19, 2018.

The Sherman brothers had a profound impact on Shaiman’s career as both a composer and songwriter. “The movie and the soundtrack were everything to me as a child and taught me everything I know about film scoring,” he says. “The songs from ‘Mary Poppins’ are, in a word, perfect. The music and the lyrics are perfectly joined and have such a wonderful, sparkling yet emotional, feeling to them, so it’s quite a bar to even aspire to come close to.”
