Robert B. Sherman passed away on March 5, 2012. He and his brother, Richard, were the songwriters for numerous musical productions, including Mary Poppins. God rest his soul.
I hope my post had nothing to do with this ….

why is mary poppins considered a classic? what genre would it be considered as?
I believe its genre would be “fantasy” (and, of course, it’s a “musical”). As for why it’s considered a classic, I would respond that perhaps its due to the vivid spiritual symbolism, as I proposed in my previous post (if you haven’t seen it already).
