A Little Bit of Broadway is a compilation album by English singer and actress Julie Andrews, released by Columbia Records in October 1988. The album brings together recordings from Andrews' tenure with the label, sourced from a variety of soundtracks, solo projects, and studio albums. This collection does not follow a single Broadway show but instead showcases her interpretations of classic songs from musicals like West Side Story and South Pacific.
The compilation is notable for including the previously unreleased track "I'll Follow My Secret Heart". Its release coincided with the industry's shift to the compact disc (CD) format, which allowed labels like Columbia to reissue and preserve historical recordings, making this diverse collection of performances widely available for the first time. The album received positive critical reception, with praise for Andrews' vocal performances, though some reviewers noted its nature as a compilation lacked the cohesion of a traditional cast album.
