Adored by millions, Dame Julie Andrews is a genuine showbiz icon. This charming yet cheeky cabaret takes an engaging look at fame and fandom, through the eyes and voice of award-winning performer Sarah-Louise Young (Fascinating Aida, An Evening Without Kate Bush, La Soirée, and over a decade with Olivier Award winning improvised musical The Showstoppers!).
Julie Andrews’s much-loved songs from musicals including Mary Poppins, The Sound Of Music and My Fair Lady are intertwined with stories and anecdotes about her own life, from her beginnings as a child star to the more recent challenges of losing her famous singing voice. What emerges is a delightfully funny and candid love letter to a true show business survivor.
Sarah-Louise Young is joined at the piano by long-term collaborator, Michael Roulston. Together they have appeared previously in their sell-out shows Songs For Cynics, Songs For Lovers (And Other Idiots), Je Regrette! and Two Faced.
The hills are alive with the sound of singalongs and gags in this witty, affectionate tribute.

Dame Julie, you suspect, would approve. This is an evening that ends in triumph, not in tears.
