Lin-Manuel Miranda (Jack), who costars alongside Emily Blunt (Mary Poppins) in the upcoming Mary Poppins Returns, shines metaphorical and actual light in the film and during the films song Trip a Little Light Fantastic. Jack keeps watch over Londons gaslamp-lit streets alongside a group of lamplighters called Leeries. In the just released track from the film, Jack encourages the films children to dance away their fears.
When youre alone in your room/ Your choice is just embrace the gloom or you can trip a little light fantastic with me, Jack sings with a thick brogue. For if you hide under the covers you might never see the day/ but if a spark can start inside your heart then you can always find a way/ So when life is getting dreary just pretend that youre a Leery as you trip a little fantastic with me.
The song already feels like a classic, building with sweeping orchestrations, cast conversations and plenty of uplifting instrumental interludes for dance numbers. Later, a child asks Mary Poppins, Can you speak Leery, Mary Poppins? Can I speak Leery? she quips.
Of course she can, shes Mary Poppins! Jack proclaims, before Poppins and the child go back and forth telling a story through song. The cast joins in for a joyous Now if your life is getting foggy/ thats no reason to complain leading to the chorus and round-robin exaltation of Trip a Little Light Fantastic finale.
