Oh, it's a jolly holiday season here at So Much Stuff to Sing! This year, we're looking at one of the all-time great film musicals, Walt Disney's Mary Poppins. With songs written by Richard and Robert Sherman, and featuring seminal performances by Dick van Dyke, David Tomlinson, Glynnis Johns, and (in her film debut!) Julie Andrews, the film is both a landmark of cinema and a timeless masterpiece.
But what about its deeply anti-capitalist message? We'll get
into that -- and more -- on this bonus-sized end of year
episode.
Programming note: we'll be on holiday ourselves until the middle of
January. Have a very Mary (get it?) Christmas, a Happy New Year,
and a wonderful holiday season!
