Many have the image of a soft spoken young lady dancing across the hills in Switzerland. In this video, that image is smashed... and smashing it is! People have spoken of her octave range in her voice but have not spoken of her ability to move from a soft, sweet melody to belting out a great tune with the best of them. The viewer can see Julie blossom right before their eyes as she moves from a soft "How to Handle a Woman" (from her broadway appearance in Camelot) to "Le Jazz Hot" (from her movie/broadway appearances in Victor/Victoria). She is classy, sassy, and brassy with her selections. She interjects spots from her life that will bring tears to your eyes both in laughter and sorrow. One wonderful surprise is a tape of her singing as a child performer. Her performance brings the audience to their feet a number of times. I can guarantee that the viewers' heart will be filled with the sound of music before the video ends.

A one-woman show captures her talent and lively personality as she performs her standards and songs from the English music hall tradition. The VHS tape was released by Questar Inc., and runs about 60 minutes. The show was a production of Thirteen/WNET in association with Greengage Productions.

SONGS Include: Where There's Music * Wouldn't It Be Loverly * It's Almost Like Being In Love * On A Clear Day * What Did I Have I Don't Have Now * Camelot * Le Jazz Hot * Throughly Modern Millie * Come Rain Or Come Shine * How To Handle A Woman * Show Me * Supercalifragilistic-expealidocious * I've Grown Accustomed To His Face * I Could Have Danced All Night * The Sound Of Music

Julie is wonderfully wonderful in this live concert!

This is the same concert as the DVD titled "live in concert", which is already out of stock. Buy this one! You'll love it!

This is a must for the Julie Andrews fan. Watching Julie in concert, singing some of her most favorite songs, is truly 60 minutes of true entertainment. Julie really gives it her all in this concert. She talks to the audience a bit about her upbringing and experience in the English music halls at the end of that era. She is very warm and humble in her presentation. Her choice of songs is delectable and her singing is pure and clear as a silver bell.
Now that this wonderful voice can no longer sing in the manner we have all admired, a true Julie fan better scoop this up while they can. We will not hear Julie sing like this ever again- sadly so.

This is such a great VHS, I only wish she had these very songs on a CD....She is full of energy and passion for what she sings. Oh do I miss her voice, what a tragedy. But at least we have the rememberances. Come back to us in movies Julie, you can act as this video shows us that you can.

The first time I watch movie " the Sound of Music, I like it very much. The sound of music makes my heart beat with joy. Especially, I like the actress. She is charming, she is gifted, she is beautiful. I like her singing. When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I am feeling sad, I simply remember my favourate things, then I don't feel so bad. Each time, I feel lonely, I will listen to the songs in "the sound of music", it makes me relaxed I have watched this movie at least 10 times.

Julie Andrews Sings, the sound of this makes my heart jump with joy. I'm a typical Julie Andrews fan. I looooooooooooooove this movie.

I want to see her stage now.I want to buy her book,CD or, Video. I want to know her life now. I want to watch her movie (1980-1996).I want to buy Video(Merry Poppins).
