A Little Bit of Broadway

A Little Bit of Broadway is a compilation album by English singer and actress Julie Andrews, released by Columbia Records in 1988. The album features recordings from Broadway musicals that Andrews performed during her tenure at Columbia between 1957 and 1962. These recordings originate from multiple sources, including the television soundtrack of Cinderella (1957), the London cast album of My Fair Lady (1959), the original Broadway cast album of Camelot (1960), and two solo studio albums: Broadway's Fair Julie (1962) and Don't Go in the Lion's Cage Tonight and Other Heartrending Ballads and Raucous Ditties (1962). The selection does not strictly follow the original Broadway recordings but instead compiles various performances that reflect Andrews' extensive engagement with musical theater during that period.

The compilation includes well-known Broadway songs such as "I Feel Pretty" from West Side Story and "A Wonderful Guy" from South Pacific. Additionally, the album features Andrews' rendition of "How Are Things in Glocca Morra?" from Finian's Rainbow and "I Didn't Know What Time It Was" from Too Many Girls. A notable inclusion is the previously unreleased recording of "I'll Follow My Secret Heart" from Noel Coward's Conversation Piece, which had not been made available to the public before this compilation. The song is an unreleased track from Broadway's Fair July. The album thus brings together a variety of Andrews' performances in a way that was not previously accessible in a single collection.

In terms of its reception by music critics, the album received favorable reviews from several media outlets.
