Julie Andrews: A Celebration

How do you find a word that means Dame Julie? She’s Maria, she’s Eliza Doolittle, she’s Mary Poppins and she’s Millie Dillmount. She’s the English girl with the voice of pure sunshine, who put the sparkle into Broadway’s golden age and whose classic movies continue to delight, charm and entertain.

Tonight, the hills are alive with the sound of her music as the BSO and a team of the West End’s brightest voices present a spectacular salute to a living legend, singing the classic songs that she made her own. Expect all your favourite things from My Fair Lady, The Boys from Syracuse, The King and I, Mary Poppins, Thoroughly Modern Millie and - it goes without saying - The Sound Of Music. And get ready to dance all night!
