From a single, childless college kid

[castlegirl09 · 9/10 · 31 October 2020]

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

I wish I had this growing up

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!!

A Labour of Love for the theatre

I just watched the first few episodes and was entranced ,Dame Julie Andrews and her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton's new series is entertaining funny and educational and anyone ,child or adult who loves the theatre will adore this show.

Its a theartre n workshop with great guests Human and puppet who take us on a journey of discovery of the craft and magic of Putting on a Show. Her young co host Giulian Yao Gioiello perfectly compliments Julie's experience and charm with youthful enthusiasm and talent.

The first episode Julie and Giulian sing a very credible duet together and it's fgreat to hear Julie Andrews sing again even though of course no more of those glorious high notes.

If you have children who are interested in the arts or just show talent or if you are like me and are someone who loves to be in the audience of a show ,which after all is the most important person in the theartre ,you'll love Julie,s Green Room one of the best things about it is it's common sense educational approach ,no kiddie talk or patronising chat here just fun and music.

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

This show is amazing!

All the aspects of the arts are targeted each week with a special guest/guests artists. I am in heaven! I love that each week there is also a life learning lesson for the kids. Using Arts in curriculum is my joy as a teacher. Where has this show been my whole life? If you have kids, this is the show for them.

A true treasure

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.

A Dream Comes True!

So good to see Julie Andrews continuing with her gift of the Arts. Many of us have enjoyed, throughout our lives, her wonderful Singing (can not be matched), Acting (Movies and TV, on stage), Dancing, Directing, and the Writing great books, she and her daughter have made available to our children, grand children and great grand children! (I have almost all of them.) I was so disappointed to see the "trades" dropped in our Elementary School and High Schools, cutting "expenses" in our education world. What a travesty! I have seen this program and the way the "Greenies" learned so much in just one program-it was delightful and exciting! Having this kind of learning come right into our homes was a brilliant idea! Thank you Ms. Julie, Emma, talented Gullian(?), puppeteers, and special guests. I pray this will be available for several years to come. I believe, theEarly Learning Schools of ALL kinds, even for older kids, should make this program available. What a fantastic way to teach the Arts. Children will be tied to the screen. What kid doesn't enjoy puppets!! I must mention specifically, Ms. Julie, you could not have done a better job fulfilling Your dream of bringing the Arts to ALL our children! Thank you and God Bless you all!!

Super cute, but it could have been better.

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.
