Mary Poppins (musical)
Mary Poppins is a musical with music and lyrics by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman (the Sherman Brothers) and additional music and lyrics by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe, and a script by Julian Fellowes. The musical is based on the similarly titled Mary Poppins children's books by P. L. Travers and the 1964 Disney film, and is a fusion of various elements from the two, including songs from the film.
J. Pat O'Malley
Walt Disney engaged O'Malley to provide voices for animated films such as the Cockney coster in the "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" sequence in "Mary Poppins" (1964); Cyril Proudbottom, Winkie, and a policeman in "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad" (1949); and the role of Colonel Hathi (Disney character) and the vulture Buzzie in "The Jungle Book" (1967). His voice can be heard in "Alice in Wonderland" (1951), in which he performs all the character voices in "The Walrus and the Carpenter" segment (besides Alice), including Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Walrus, the Carpenter, and Mother Oyster. O'Malley also provided the voice of Br'er Fox in "Song of the South" (1946) when James Baskett was unavailable. Actor Dick Van Dyke has said that O'Malley was his dialect coach on "Mary Poppins", attributing his infamous Cockney accent in that film to O'Malley.
