Julie Andrews hosts "My Favorite Broadway: The Love Songs" (2000)

Dear Daily Express Readers, the part your looking for starts here: 9:37 Cheers!
--------
Julie Andrews returns to host the second installment of the "My Favorite Broadway" series on Oct. 16 at City Center.
[...] The Daily News reported, Oct. 18, that Andrews did a brief duet at the concert with Michael Crawford on "The Rain in Spain." The surprise was that, owing to her vocal troubles and surgery, it was expected that Andrews would never sing in public again. The unexpected duet apparently closed with a cheering standing ovation by the crowd.
[...] Having recently accepted the title of Dame Commander of the British Empire. Andrews said she was thrilled to be asked back and that she was "looking forward to renewing some great friendships and sharing the stage with some people I have long admired."
Encouraged by the success of last year's "My Favorite Broadway: The Leading Ladies," Andrews returns with a new theme, "My Favorite Broadway: The Love Songs." The format for the show includes those love songs which are considered the audience favorites that originally won the stars acclaim, as well as the artists' own selections. Directed by Tony Award-winner Graciela Daniele, "My Favorite Broadway: The Love Songs," will star Michael Crawford, Linda Eder, Peter Gallagher, Heather Headley, Jennifer Holliday, Rebecca Luker, Marin Mazzie, Bebe Neuwirth, Adam Pascal, Chita Rivera, Brent Spiner and Roubert Goulet among others.

[@suesturges6022]

Just love this lady! Cried when she lost her voice!!!! How could she cope!!!!!

[@carmengladyszarza820]

Pero queda su hermosa figura!!!!

[@Athompthomp]

a short but one of the most powerful moment...coming back to the stage once again after the infamously botched surgery which left her not being able to sing again the way she used to...her courage and brilliance really made the scene magical

[@nancyklafter4500]

Dame Julie Andrews: my all time favorite. The Sound of Music, my favorite score of all time. May you always be able to bring joy to others.

[@patachou636]

FABULOUS❣ At 11:31 as Michael Crawford is holding Julie in his arms after she sang "The Rain in Spain" I saw such loving and caring emotion on his face as he was trying to hold back tears 😢 I started to cry like a baby ❤💘💖💋🤗😍🥰😘❣❣❣

[@swansabijr]

Like seemingly everyone else on the planet I grew up with Julie's voice, and it's always been something I've come back to again and again. I've never seen this before, but you can feel the stillness of the audience when she comes out with Michael Crawford. That first phrase she sang--even an octave down from the original--sent me into immediate waterworks. (I just watched it again, and once again I'm crying.) How does this woman do this to me?? Also, how the heck can she possibly be 65 here? I hope to look half that amazing at 50.

[@wendybirnie3324]

She is just my favourite thing. Love this video and it shows the chemistry between Julie and Robert Goulet.

[@filipchung2121]

What an entrance! How classy! Indeed , She is a class of her own.

[@deviwolf3365]

She glides on like an Empress.

[@mlchc9004]

Julie is a treasure

[@suanyangelaoliveira949]

Julie makes me happy.

[@Shamsithaca]

Just to add, when Julie starts singing The Rain in Spain, the audience erupted in cheers. One of the most amazing moments in my life (I was too young to see her in concert) was when in NYC this past December, while talking about patter songs, she sang the entire patter part of Not Getting Married Today. I think the entire audience fell in silence for a minute, before erupted in cheers. I dont think I shouted Brava this loud in my life, with all my heart and soul. People around me had to turn back and see who this brown guy was creating so much commotion. But I had to, it was my only chance to ever cheer her after a song.

[@TheJulieAndrewsArchive]

What an awesome memory! I would have been floored as well. Color me green!!!

[@ap-g5378]

I hope I can find her singing the patter part in Not Getting Married Today. I just love her inspiration of music for the world.

[@msatolentino]

Today is October 1, 2020. Happy Birthday, Dame Julie Andrews!

[@carolinesingson2278]

Julie, you are so fabulous and gorgeous...such a treasure..

[@BTURNER1961]

Michael Crawford has a very distinguished career on stage, but I doubt he has had to hold a pose during a 1 minute standing ovation before. Its has to be an incredible honor for anyone to be the last person to exchange lines and dance steps with the original Eliza Dolittle. His smile as he holds her, says he knows it too.

[@ap-g5378]

Truly a wonderful moment for Michael Crawford

[@deviwolf3365]

I've read what he wrote about it and he knew just how marvelous an occasion it was. Plus, you can see him crying a bit at about 11:30 as he holding her in the pose.

[@BTURNER1961]

@@deviwolf3365 What's funny is when she comes out to say those lines, its dead silence. Not a sound out of any of the audience Like they were frozen in disbelief, and I suppose some there were a little too young to know anything about her before those movies. S he sings the first phrase, some tentative almost wary applause as if they terrified they might scare away the sparrow, but then after that second phrase..... it all came out.

[@deviwolf3365]

@@BTURNER1961 I would bet mosr of them not only knew she'd been on Broadway - it hadn't been all that long since she was in Victor/Victoria - but also knew about her throat surgery. I think they didn't know what to expect (I'm not sure she did either) and her first couple lines were more spoken than sung. It wasn't until "On the plain, on the plain" that she was outright singing rather than sing-speaking (a term Dame Julie uses) and I think that's when the audience started to go wild. So did I.

[@jameshamilton8245]

Where can I view the entire performance?

[@TheJulieAndrewsArchive]

I only have Julie’s parts. You'll have to do an old fashioned KZbin search or buy the DVD.

[@Shamsithaca]

Do u have the 1988 evening when Julie randomly got up to sing Say A Prayer for Me Tonight, as she briefly mentions in this evening show? It was on youtube but cant for the sake locate it anymore.I think the person who uploaded it didnt tag it correctly.

[@TheJulieAndrewsArchive]

Nope. I only have the one from her Julie Andrews Hour. According to the “Loverly: The Life and Times of My Fair Lady” book she sang it at a Lerner and Loewe tribute in 1988. THAT one does sound familiar.

[@AndreinaGarban]

I have the MP3 of it.... It was briefly on KZbin but I cannot find it anymore. I still have it, and it is AWESOME!

[@Shamsithaca]

@@AndreinaGarban Would you please share it with me? I would be most grateful ! I cant find it either on youtube.

[@AndreinaGarban]

@@Shamsithaca Hey Shams! Sure! An email address or Facebook or some platform where I can share it with you?

[@Shamsithaca]

@@AndreinaGarban That would be so kind of you. I think you can message me directly, but I cant seem to send you a message from youtube privately to send you my email address.
