| But the Donaldson and the Theatre World are still not the same thing as a Tony, which is considered the pre-eminent Broadway honor. | |

| Julie Andrews is one of the most beloved musical stars of all time. She’s inspired generations of people throughout the world to love musicals and to create and perform in them. It would be impossible to calculate how many people have seen a Broadway show because of her. To say that she's done little for Broadway over the last 50 years--especially since she lost her singing voice 20 years ago--is ridiculous. Adjusted for inflation, The Sound of Music (#3) and Mary Poppins (#27) are two of the most popular films of all time. They’re the only two musicals in the top 50 that are not animated. The closest to them at #60 is My Fair Lady—which she had something to do with. At the moment, Mary Poppins is outselling the live-action Beauty and the Beast DVD version on Amazon. TSOM is #3 in musicals. They’re both in the top 125 overall. Both movies still play on prime time TV. Julie in Cinderella: one of the most viewed TV shows in history. To this day. The My Fair Lady cast album is one of the most popular albums of all time, period—introducing more people to Broadway. Camelot is also one of the bestselling cast albums of all time. Eliza Doolittle, Mary Poppins and Maria Von Trapp—there aren’t many performers who can equal that resume. |
