The lights change slowly; a liminal space. A high-pitched sound, barely distinguishable at first, then louder. It becomes an orchestra tuning itself as Joan stands, removing her prison smock. Underneath she is wearing tight black pants and a cowhide patterned blouse. She picks up a large white microphone and primps off stage into the darkness, awaiting her cue...

The stage lights drop and the orchestra strikes a drumroll. A voice speaks over the PA.

 

Ladies and gentlemen, the Wiltern Theatre Los Angeles, in close partnership with Walt Disney Theatrical, is proud to present “Musical Memoirs: An Intimate Evening With Julie Andrews: And Friends…”

 

Footlights dazzle the audience as big band music flourishes. JULIE ANDREWS bursts through the door, radiant as always, grasping a big phallic microphone.
