The “Mary Poppins Returns”<\/strong> original motion picture soundtrack is available today from\u00a0Walt Disney Records<\/span>. \u00a0The album features all-new original songs by Tony Award and GRAMMY winning composer\u00a0Marc Shaiman<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0(“Hairspray,” “South Park”) and Tony winner and\u00a0three-time Emmy nominee co-lyricist\u00a0Scott Wittman<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0(“Hairspray,” “Smash”).<\/p>\n

Directed by Oscar-nominated, Emmy and DGA Award-winning director\u00a0Rob Marshall<\/strong>, the film stars:\u00a0Emily Blunt<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0as Mary Poppins;\u00a0Lin-Manuel Miranda<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0as Jack;\u00a0Ben Whishaw<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0as\u00a0Michael Banks<\/span>;\u00a0Emily Mortimer<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0as\u00a0Jane Banks<\/span>;\u00a0Julie Walters<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0as Ellen; Pixie Davies<\/strong>,\u00a0Nathanael Saleh<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Joel Dawson<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0as the Banks children; with\u00a0Colin Firth<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0as\u00a0William Weatherall Wilkins<\/span>; and Meryl Streep<\/strong> as cousin Topsy.\u00a0\u00a0“Mary Poppins Returns” will be released in U.S. theaters on\u00a0December 19, 2018<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The Sherman brothers<\/strong> 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’<\/strong> 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.”<\/p>\n

Because the script is an integral part of any musical, the duo was brought on board to write the music and lyrics when the script was being written, allowing the score to function dramatically from its inception.\u00a0\u00a0Shaiman and Wittman crafted nine original songs, each one with a soulful quality that helps\u00a0advance the plot and enhance the characters. “We didn’t stray too far from the sounds of the first movie,” adds Shaiman. “We wanted it to feel like we were picking up where the last film ended.”<\/p>\n

The new songs include: the film’s central ballad, “The Place Where Lost Things Go,” a lullaby performed by Mary Poppins<\/strong>; the boisterous dance hall number with Mary Poppins and Jack, “A Cover is Not the Book”; “Underneath the Lovely London Sky,” the opening musical number performed by Jack at some of the city’s most iconic landmarks; “Turning Turtle,” a spirited number performed by cousin Topsy and the Banks children; “The Conversation,” a bittersweet song performed by Michael in which he tries to come to terms with his grief; and the buoyant “Nowhere to Go But Up.”<\/p>\n
