Andrews gradually became the star attraction in the act, and the following year was cast in her first legitimate stage show, singing the "Polonaise" aria ("Je Suis Titania") from Ambroise Thomas' 1866 opera Mignon in the revue Starlight Roof at the London Hippodrome starting on October 23, 1947, shortly after her 12th birthday.
Andrews, by then pregnant, left Camelot and restricted her activities for the rest of the year, though she did cut a fourth solo album, Don't Go in the Lion's Cage Tonight, containing some of her favorite British music hall songs.
It was Andrews' second consecutive major flop, as a result of which her next two screen projects were canceled and, a mere five years after starring in the biggest movie hit of all time, she found herself without any film offers.

 Julie Andrews at Reel Classics
Julie Andrews made her way from Vaudeville to Broadway to Hollywood and back again -- singing all the way -- and her movies have encompassed some of the business's biggest blockbusters as well as most expensive bombs.
Julie's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious film debut performance as the Banks Family's no-nonsense, English nanny (with a little more up her sleeve than those around her realize) won her the Academy Award for Best Actress of the year and the film itself was nominated for an incredible thirteen Oscars, taking home five of them.
Probably the most famous role of Julie's career, that of Maria von Trapp in THE SOUND OF MUSIC (1965) was oddly enough one she was skeptical about taking due to the sometimes overly-sugary sweetness of the Broadway version of Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical.
