It’s Mary Poppins ReturnsOpens in a new tab week, and Emily BluntOpens in a new tab and Lin-Manuel MirandaOpens in a new tab – the stars of the larger-than-life movie sequel – are making the press rounds, merrily popping into early morning and late night talk shows to promote the film, which opens in theaters nationwide today. This, of course, included a stop at The Late Late Show With James CordenOpens in a new tab; Corden is a friend of Blunt’s who played her husband in the big-screen Into the Woods, and he’s also a devoted musical fan. With the musically inclined Blunt and Miranda on-hand, the trio performed a cabaret-style mash-up of 22 famous movie musical numbers in just 12 minutes, complete with an array of costumes, props, and laughs.The whole video is a real treasure trove for musical fans. The performance includes a lot of contemporary favorites, like “City of Stars” from La La Land and “Falling Slowly” from Once, coupled with a number of old staples, from Cabarets‘ “Willkommen” to Guys & Dolls‘ “Sit Down You’re Rocking the Boat” to Gentlemen Prefer Blondes‘ “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend.”
