Mary Poppins would be flawless, but I wouldn't take anyone other than the OG herself, Julie Andrews. It doens't have to be Disney property, I'm sure they could find a way to get the rights if they wanted to  Every single story done on Once and Once: Wonderland has at one point or another been done by Disney, except for five. One of which is public domain (Rumplestiltskin), and the other four being minor minor allusions not relevant to the plot of the show (Snow-White and Rose-Red, Beowulf, Pride & Prejudice, and Three Billy Goats Gruff).

So unless we have something that's public domain, yeah, it pretty much has to be Disney-owned or Disney done. Everything on the show has been originally done as either a Disney movie or a Disney short. Even Bo Peep has her own Disney shorts. What about The Wizard of Oz, techincally they never adapted it, they just made a prequel movie and Frankenstein too, also there were copright issues with getting Peter Pan on the show, but they got around that, so they could do Wonka if they wanted to Frankenstein was adapted as Frankenweenie, and while we did visit Oz and meet Dorothy, the whole Oz arc was centered around Zelena's origin, just like Oz The Great And Powerful was. Both Frankenweenie and Oz The Great And Powerful are Disney movies.
