An Evening with Julie Andrews

An Evening with Julie Andrews is a live album by Julie Andrews recorded during the English star's 1977 concert at Osaka Festival Hall in Japan. The performance came at a transitional moment in Andrews' career—after her peak Hollywood years but before her later resurgence on stage. The album captures her signature blend of Broadway and film classics, though its reception and legacy remain somewhat niche.

Andrews initially hesitated to tour Japan, as revealed in a 1977 interview, but ultimately accepted a $1 million offer on the condition that her family could join her. The concerts, held in four cities, were part of a brief return to live performance after she had scaled back work in the 1970s. Originally announced in Billboard as Julie Andrews On Tour, the record would include performances in Japan, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand, but RCA released only the Japanese performance with its present title. Previously, the title was used in the special An Evening with Julie Andrews and Harry Belafonte, transmitted on 9 November 1969 by NBC.

The track listing leans heavily on nostalgia, featuring staples like "Do-Re-Mi", "I Could Have Danced All Night", and "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious", alongside Stephen Sondheim's "Being Alive" and Peter Allen's "Everything Old Is New Again". The music critic from The Age noted the crowd's enthusiasm but also highlighted the album's safe, familiar approach, describing it as "musical memories of her past" rather than a reinvention. While praising Andrews' enduring vocal clarity, the review also subtly questioned whether the material pushed her artistry forward.

The album was never released in the United States due to a decline in Ms. Andrew's popularity. However, copies of the album were being sold in the country for as much as $1,000 by 1994. Furthermore, it was never released on compact disc (CD) anywhere in the world.
