En coulisse avec Julie

I first watched this the day it came out. I was 21, living alone in a tiny college apartment, so I'm definitely not the target demographic. I absolutely adored this! It brought a sense of warmth and nostalgia.

Fast forward to 2020, I was sick with COVID and reaching for any source of positivity to get me through the worst of my sick days. I ended up watching an few episodes again, and as an educator now, definitely see the value in this show! Is it perfect? No. But I absolutely wish they had continued the show. Would have been great to show this and Carol Burnett and Friends to my future kiddos

This show is simply wonderful. It put a smile on my face for the rest of my day! I am in my mid- 20's, and have been a lifelong lover of theatre and the arts as a whole, and even though I am not the most ideal audience for this particular show, I believe it has something for all ages. I have laughed out loud several times at the hijinks that Hugo the Duck get's himself involved in and some of the more sophisticated jokes that are actually very cleverly written.

Furthermore, to be able to see Julie Andrews in the limelight again is truly wonderful. I am thrilled that a younger audience will now get to experience her and her infectious passion for the arts. And these guest starts are top notch!

Arts in education is something that I have benefited from greatly, and I know that funding for the arts is always on thin ice - especially with the current powers that be. I am so thankful that this show came along and came along NOW when it seems most urgent to show how the arts are necessities that not only can bring people together but can have such a positive impact upon individuals and the world!!

When are we going to see more of this amazing series?

I LOVE watching Julie Andrews, and this adorable show was a great way to introduce her to my youngest kids, and I also enjoyed seeing the special guest celebrity appearances. However, I had trouble loving the puppets. The show would have been better with a cast of real kids. I think children watching the show would appreciate seeing actual children learning the performing arts, and it would be more relate-able to them.

It's been hard to find educational shows that are not too young and not too old for our 3 1/2-year-old. This is perfect. I'm so happy to see Julie Andrews promoting and teaching the arts along with great and talented special guests. I love the diversity of each episode looking at all the different roles and skills that are used in a production and that nothing can stand in your way, physical or mental. I've seen mentioned that it would be better with real kids and it honestly doesn't make a difference to me or my daughter and it's a Jim Henson production which is known for using puppets.
