Theyve got something really good under wraps until Christmas.
We just focused on this story and these people and this moment.
Miranda remembers that night just a bit differently: That was areallystressful show, he laughs.

I felt like I was auditioningforMary Poppins, the person.
Miranda callsPoppinshis first big movie, but acknowledges how unusual the film actually is from the typical big-movie experience.
Where does that part come from?
And you realize, it comes from Were never coming back to Buckingham Palace to get a second take.
The adrenaline source is in getting it right in that moment.
Just say I wasnt involved at all.
What would I want to see in this film?
I knew I wanted to see an animation sequence in the hand-drawn 2D style.
But the most important thing was an emotional story.
How do you move through that?
Theyve also lost a sense of wonder and joy, says Marshall.
We live in such a fragile time that we need this film.
I certainly felt that I needed it.
If Marshalls wish comes true,Mary Poppins Returnsmight deliver some similar optimism to audiences this Christmas.
I just cantwaitfor people to see it, gushes the actress.
I feel like we have this little secret all tied up in a bow.
Why cant we just give it to them today?
As Mary Poppins would say: patience, Meryl Streep, patience.
