...unfortunately, it's coming from the Ricola guys. Last week director Blake Edwards revealed that his wife JULIE ANDREWS, 63, will most likely never be able to sing again following throat surgery last year to remove noncancerous nodules. The star of The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins and Victor, Victoria was assured that her singing ability would return within six weeks of the operation. Eighteen months later, her husband told Parade magazine, "If you heard [her voice], you'd weep." Edwards says he is developing a Broadway project for his wife, but if she cannot speak, the show...
Mendelssohn is widely regarded as one of the great romantic composers of the 19th century. He began composing when he was a boy and became one of the brightest musical talents of the first half of the century.

Some of the show's most amusing moments come when 6-year-old Victoria Pontecorvo, who plays the orphan Molly, mischievously mimics Struthers' outlandish antics. Pontecorvo's tiny size and huge smile will immediately win any audience over, and her imitation of Miss Hannigan's drunken walk and fondness for the flask are priceless. "It's the Hard-Knock Life," the orphan's second song, is an adorable synchronized number filled with metal wash-buckets and rags, and choreographer Peter Gennaro wisely capitalizes on the charm of his youngest orphan...
...camp headquarters in the rain, I saw this really fine counselor coming by with some of his campers and I stopped paying attention to the trail and tripped! When I fell, my coat flipped over my head and the hottie and a ton of little kids learned Victoria's Secret...
