LONDON: JULIE MADLY DEEPLY AT THE CRAZY COQS 

Sarah-Louise Young brings "Julie Madly Deeply" to THE CRAZY COQS AT BRASSERIE ZEDEL(20 Sherwood St, Piccadilly, London W1F 7ED - 020 7734 4888) on Thursday through Saturday, November 12th through 14th at 8:00 pm. Written and performed by Sarah-Louise and directed by Russell Lucas the show is an homage to Julie Andrews. Adored by millions, Dame Julie Andrews is a genuine showbiz icon across the globe. This charming yet cheeky cabaret takes an engaging look at fame and fandom, through the eyes and voice of award-winning singer, West End actress and Fascinating Aida star, Sarah-Louise Young. Julie's songs from musicals including Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music and My Fair Lady are intertwined with stories and anecdotes about Andrews' own life, from her beginnings as a child star to the recent challenges of losing her famous singing voice. What emerges is a delightfully funny and candid love letter to a true show business survivor. Named one of Time Out's Top Ten cabaret performers and awarded Best Musical Variety Act in the London Cabaret Awards, Sarah-Louise is joined at the piano by long-term collaborator, Michael Roulston. Together they have appeared previously at the Crazy Coqs in their sell-out shows, 'Songs For Cynics' and 'Two Faced'. The show premiered at the Edinburgh fringe 2013, transferred to Trafalgar Studios in London later that year prior to a major UK tour, and was part of the inaugural Best Of The Edinburgh Festival season co-produced with David Mirvish at the Panasonic Theatre, Toronto, in October 2014. This run coincides with the 50th anniversary of The Sound Of Music film. Call for cover/minimum information.
