Julie Andrews and her daughter Emma Hamilton are writing a new book for kids about a group of ducks who find fame on the stage.

Waiting in the Wings follows a family of ducks that nest near a local theatre and get swept up in the magic of performing.

“Believe it or not, this book was inspired by a real-life family of ducklings that hatched in the courtyard of Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor,” said the pair.

“We just knew that these charming ducks, born on site at a theatre, would make for the perfect story to celebrate the impact that arts and musical theatre can have on young people.”

Waiting in the Wings is due to be published in April 2024.
