Sarah-Louise Young's love letter to showbiz legend Julie Andrews makes its US premiere after sold out runs in the West End and Toronto. A charming yet cheeky cabaret, JULIE MADLY DEEPLY weaves songs from musicals including Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music, and My Fair Lady with stories and anecdotes about Andrews' life told from the perspective of her biggest fan.

Music director and arranger Michael Roulston, best known to 59E59 audiences for his work with Fascinating Aïda, joins Young on stage for this delightfully funny and candid homage to a true show business survivor.
