Jenny Riddle presents “In Character, Julie Andrews” at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 7, at The Timbers of Shorewood, 1100 N. River Rd., Shorewood. An accomplished actress, singer, and writer, Riddle has performed her popular one-woman shows in a wide-variety of venues for more than ten years.
She is a dramatic book reviewer who depicts the lives of famous and historical people. Before she’s done, she has her audience believing that she is Julie Andrews, Jackie Kennedy, Barbara Walters or any of her many characters.
Everyone remembers Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins and Maria Von Trapp, but who was she before that? The voice of Julie Andrews became one of the most recognizable voices in the world. Riddle dramatizes and performs songs from the life of Andrews before she was Mary or Maria in her presentation of Julie Andrews’ memoir, Home: The Early Years.
