Julie Andrews Set to Sing in London

(AP)  Julie Andrews is to perform in London, 30 years after her last appearance on the British stage.

Concert promoters AEG Europe said Wednesday the star of such musicals as "Mary Poppins" and "The Sound of Music" will appear at London's 02 Arena on May 8.

Andrews had non-cancerous throat nodules removed in 1997. The operation initially left her unable to sing.

Andrews has since starred in "The Princess Diaries" and was the voice of Queen Lillian in the "Shrek" film series.

Tickets go on sale Thursday.

Andrews says in a statement "to perform once again in my homeland on the London stage will be a wonderful moment - it is where it all began for me."

I came all the way from Hungary and waited for 6 years to finally meet her and all I can say is? The concert was simply AMAZING!!!!! It worth every penny I spent. Singing with her Do-Re-Mi was a moment I will cherish forever, frankly those 3 minutes worth all the way to London and back... =) She looked absolutely stunning, frankly Julie is more and more beautiful as time goes by?=) She has grace, she has style, she is a real legend!!!
We sat on level 4, very high, but we had a great view to the stage and... we could see her backstage!!! The whole concert started with the Sound of Music "I know I will hear what I heard before.... and I will sing once more" then she came in...=) The second half was about Simeon's Gift, personally I do not like musicals too much, but this one was simply wonderful!!!
So I was absolutely HAPPY =) about the concert!!!!!... Julie you were absolutely amazing and we love you! =) =) =)
