The play, Julie Andrews- Uncut will introduce audiences to the fascinating history of one of the last icons from the golden age of Hollywood.
Vaudeville was her training ground, Broadway made her, Hollywood immortalised her – Dame Julie Andrews. Starring Alison Hillstead; accompanied by Nathan Johannisen and written and directed by Amanda Bothma.
Julie Andrews – composed, elegant, well-spoken… a typical English lady? A lady, yes, but not born of noble blood. Julie Andrews is a self-made woman.
Her life in reality it was pretty seedy. She spent her childhood performing on the Vaudeville circuit, singing and dancing, two shows a day, six days a week, alongside Pops and Barbara Andrews.
Julie had a difficult childhood, but no matter the hard knocks, Julie’s talent could not be dimmed. If you’re a fan of Dame Julie Andrews – or even if you aren’t, you will thoroughly enjoy what is a great performance.
It is a sincere tribute to Julie Andrews with the songs for which she is so famous, and also revealing a fascinating history of her life.
Shows are on Friday September 27, at 7.30pm, Sunday September 28 and Sunday September 29, at 4pm.
