Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman are participating in TheWrap’s third annual songwriters panel at the Dolby Screening Room Hollywood Vine on Monday. A version of this story first appeared in the Race Begins issue of TheWrap’s Oscar magazine.
Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman have collaborated on Broadway hits and movies in the past, but they took on a formidable task when Disney decided to bring back Mary Poppins in the Rob Marshall film “Mary Poppins Returns.” The Sherman brothers wrote a string of classics for the 1964 film, and Shaiman and Wittman had to step into their shoes for the new adventure.
The songwriting team wrote nine songs for the film, two of which were submitted to the Oscars for the Best Original Song category: the ballad “The Place Where Lost Things Go” and the large-scale dance number “Trip a Little Light Fantastic.”
