*What does “in the style of” mean?
When we ask for a song “in the style of Mary Poppins,” we mean a piece that fits the same musical world and character as the show—bright, melodic, family-friendly, and rooted in classic Broadway or Disney tradition. Think songs that capture a whimsical yet heartfelt tone, clear storytelling, and a playful sense of wonder. Good examples include (but are not limited to) numbers from The Sound of Music, My Fair Lady, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Music Man, or Hello, Dolly!—all share that warm, tuneful, Golden-Age musical theatre feel. By contrast, songs from shows like Rent, Hamilton, Hadestown, Dear Evan Hansen, or Sweeney Todd would not be in the right style because they feature modern pop, rock, or darker dramatic tones that don’t match the buoyant, period charm of Mary Poppins.
