Julie Andrews has a date to direct 'The Boy Friend'

Julie Andrews is coming back to "The Boy Friend."

The actress made her Broadway debut in 1954 in Sandy Wilson's spoof of the giddy 1920s musical comedy, and now she is directing a revival of the show.

Andrews is overseeing a production that will open next summer at the Goodspeed Opera House in East Haddam, Conn., and then travel the country. In the original New York production, she played Polly Browne, an English heiress who falls in love with a delivery boy who turns out to be the son of a wealthy nobleman.
