Mary Poppins Returns

Rob Marshall (Into the Woods) teams up with some of his favorite cast members to make this sequel. Same basic plot a nanny comes to help a family through a difficult time using magic - song and dance. Emily Blunt (The Quiet Place) is Mary, Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton) is the young boy Jack from the original movie, but all grown up. There are several cool guest appearances. Colin Firth (The Secret Garden) is the bad guy. My favorite musical/dancing scene is with the lamp lighters. All in all, I say: SEE IT if you liked the original. It's long and several of the younger kids in the theatre got bored.
