I did a search for this but didn't find any discussion. I had no idea until I happened to find in in YouTube (while I was searching for Edie Adams clips) that Julie Andrews performed at the Hollywood Bowl in July 2008. There are several clips there--I have no idea if they are copyrighted or not, so I won't try to link them, but here is a link to a news story which I think is OK:

I listened to several of the clips and while it is clear that her voice is nothing like what it was, it is still so good to hear her singing, and I thought she did quite well in some of the songs. Her voice is much lower and she does "talk-sing" through many numbers, but gosh, you really have to admire her spirit and determination.
Was anybody there to hear her in person?

Lord, I love Julie Andrews.

She is divine and class personified.
