Sixty years ago, Mary Poppins flew down from the sky on her umbrella and changed movies forever. The classic movie (on WTW’s 100 best movies of all time list) featuring an iconic performance from Julie Andrews has stayed in people’s hearts all this time. Now viewers can get a rare behind-the-scenes look at the movie’s making and legacy courtesy of 20/20, with The Untold Story of Mary Poppins airing on Wednesday, November 27, at 9 pm ET/PT on ABC.
The two-hour special is going to include rarely seen footage, photos and stories from those who made the movie and those who have been impacted by it. That will include footage from the Mary Poppins premiere and demos of the movie’s classic songs written by the Sherman Brothers (Richard and Robert). The special will also feature new interviews with Josh Gad, John Stamos, Lin Manuel Miranda, two of Walt Disney’s grandchildren and the movie’s original stars, Dick Van Dyke and Julie Andrews.
