2003: Julie Andrews Directs
"The Boy Friend" in Sag Harbor

In August 2003, singer and actress Julie Andrews made her directing debut at the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor. The production, which starred Tony Roberts, was "The Boy Friend" – the same musical in which Andrews debuted on Broadway in 1954 at age 18. Her daughter, Sag Harbor resident Emma Walton Hamilton, is the founder and co-artistic director of the theatrical production company. Andrews and her husband, Blake Edwards, also have a house in Sag Harbor. "The Boy Friend" subsequently toured nationally. Andrews, who gained national prominence in "My Fair Lady" on Broadway, starred in many films, including "The Sound of Music," "Mary Poppins," for which she won an Academy Award, and "The Princess Diaries." She has also appeared in numerous television productions and has written or co-written 15 children’s book with her daughter. Andrews is shown here in 1998.
