MARY POPPINS - Education Series, Part 1: From Literary Inspiration to the Silver Screen

Take a journey through the magical world of MARY POPPINS -- the Hit Broadway Musical! Gavin Creel, who played "Bert" in MARY POPPINS in London's West End, takes you behind the scenes in this 10-part series to see how the show was created, what it takes to make the show happen every night on stage, and how the magic of MARY POPPINS lives on after each night's final bow.
In the first video of the MARY POPPINS Classroom Education Series, we get a closer look at the history of the iconic character conceived by Australian author Pamela Travers. From the literary inspiration to the award-winning film, MARY POPPINS has transcended time and genres on her way to the stage. To guide us along the journey, interviews include Disney historian Brian Sibley and producers Thomas Schumacher and Cameron Mackintosh.
