Put the Date in Your Princess Diaries

Gratuitous tit shot merely to protect my street cred (which currently lies in tatters).

Rip those curtains down and get the sewing machine out, Julie Andrews is planning a return to London and heading back to the stage!

Seriously, my mum is going to have fucking kittens.

After her voice was ruined in a botched 1997 throat surgery, Andrews, 74, had said that she could emit only “a kind of fried sound.”

Being a great fan of her work but also of tasty bacon, that pretty much ticks all my boxes. Fans who were only in it for the songs, however, had to resign themselves to never hearing her sing her hits again.

But apparently she's all fixed now and good to go! Last year, she surprised Broadway audiences by singing four solo songs on her "hosted by Julie Andrews" shows and now she's headed back to London and headlining the O2 arena for a one-night-only affair.

So in respect for J-lie from my Block, in all her glory, turn the speakers up and join me in a quick round. Seriously, I'm living in Joyville.
