WATCH: James Corden, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Emily Blunt perform 22 musicals in 12 minutes

Rudi Kinsella

James Corden Emily Blunt

This is seriously impressive stuff. Essential viewing for any musical theatre fans.

Lin-Manuel Miranda and Emily Blunt are the stars of the new movie Mary Poppins Returns – a sequel to the classic Mary Poppins movie in 1964.

Both of them steal the show in the movie (which you can read more about here), and both of them are absolute stars in general, boasting excellent singing and acting skills.

If there was any doubt as to whether or not the two are absolute professionals, well that was put to bed following the most recent episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden.

Knowing that the three of them (yes, Corden included, as ever) are obsessed with musicals, they attempted to perform a medley that included bits from 22 musicals in 12 short minutes.

And it’s pretty damn brilliant.

We see the three of them sing short bits from musicals such as Hamilton, Les Mis, Chicago and way more.
