MARY POPPINS to be Featured on WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE, 11/7

The Broadway musical MARY POPPINS will be featured on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" with host Meredith Vieira during a special Broadway themed week of episodes airing November 7-11, 2011. The MARY POPPINS cast will help kick off the specialty week as contestants on the show, donating their winnings to The Actors Fund, a national human services organization that helps professionals in performing arts and entertainment in times of need, crisis or transition. Throughout the week on "Millionaire," each contestant will be asked one Broadway-themed question. If they answer correctly, they win tickets to a Broadway show for themselves as well as members of the studio audience.

The appearance - the first time in "Millionaire" history that Broadway stars have appeared on the show - will be broadcast just prior to MARY POPPINS' 5th anniversary on Broadway November 16th.

The tenth season of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" will premiere on Monday, September 5, 2011. Check local listings or go to millionairetv.com for time and channel.
