Mary Poppins has been a classic Disney movie for over 60 years. The Academy Award-winning movie has inspired a Broadway musical, as well as two other movies that helped to expand the story: Saving Mr. Banks in 2013 and Mary Poppins Returns in 2018.
Now the Walt Disney Family Museum in the Presidio in San Francisco invites you to “Step in Time” and join them in welcoming Gregg Sherman—co-writer and producer of Disney’s feature-length documentary, The Boys: The Sherman Brothers’ Story (2009), and son of multiple-time Academy Award®- and Grammy Award®-winning composer Richard M. Sherman. Gregg will share stories and unique insights about his father and uncle and their work in writing songs for the beloved classic, Mary Poppins (1964).
Gregory V. Sherman is an Emmy Award®-winning writer, producer, composer, and director. Sherman co-wrote, directed, and produced The Boys: The Sherman Brothers’ Story (2009)—Disney’s feature-length documentary on his father and uncle, Academy Award®-winning composers Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman.
In his television career that spans five decades, Gregg Sherman has written, composed, and produced over 2,000 hours of television, film, live theater, and concerts. Sherman’s shows include the multiple-time Emmy-winning Win Ben Stein’s Money (1997–2003) on Comedy Central, Sports Geniuses (2000) on Fox Sports, Debt (1996–1998) on Lifetime, and The Chair (2002) on ABC. His sitcom credits include NBC’s Boston Common (1996–1997) and Billy (1992), and CBS’ Tall Hopes (1993).
In November 2024, Gregg Sherman produced the ABC News documentary The Untold Story of Mary Poppins, which aired on ABC and is currently streaming on Hulu and Disney+.
