Julie Andrews
Comment:
A classically trained coloratura soprano, Julie Andrews has a heavenly tone and a seemingly superhuman range that enables gazelle-like melodic leaps. But more than that, she's an [i]actress[/i], and she brings that skill to every song she inhabits. As Eliza Doolittle, the plucky working-class heroine of [i]My Fair Lady[/i], she spins out the sassy sentiments of "Just You Wait" in classic Cockney tones. She takes a gender-bending turn — foreshadowing her [i]Victor/Victoria[/i] success — on "Burlington Bertie from Bow," a first-person satire of an English aristocratic wannabe. And she knowingly invests the seemingly innocent "Sweet Polly Plunkett" with the sinister undercurrents that surround its setting in Sondheim's [i]Sweeney Todd[/i].
