Julie Andrews to host kids show for Netflix

Julie Andrews is hosting a kids' show with a new cast of Jim Henson puppets that will center on the performing arts.

Called "Julie's Greenroom," the Netflix production will feature an all-new cast of puppets called The Greenies at the Wellspring Center for the Performing Arts, where Ms. Julie serves as director.

The class will learn about everything from mime, music, dance, improv, visual art and voice.

Most episodes will also feature an original song, while every episode will feature a guest star. The guest list includes Alec Baldwin, Sara Bareilles, Joshua Bell, Tituss Burgess, Carol Burnett, Chris Colfer, Robert Fairchild, Josh Groban, David Hyde Pierce, Bill Erwin, Ellie Kemper, Idina Menzel, Tiler Peck, and Stomp.

Andrews created the series with her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton.

The 13 half-hour episodes will premiere globally on Netflix in early 2017.
