(Beach Haven, NJ) -- Award-winning vocalist Julie Budd stars in Some Enchanted Evening: The Songs of Rodgers & Hammerstein, kicking off Surflight Theatre's 65th Season of 'Broadway at the Beach' from June 11-15. The production showcases the duo's greatest hits with over 30 songs performed by Julie and members of the Surflight 2014 acting company. "Some Enchanted Evening" is directed and choreographed by Norb Joerder, with music direction for Julie Budd by Herb Bernstein and music direction by Henco Espag.

Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II were the dynamic duo of the golden age of Broadway, writing such masterworks as Carousel, The King and I, Oklahoma!, South Pacific, The Sound of Music and more.

Julie Budd is considered to be one of the most exciting singers on the scene today. While enjoying a multi-faceted musical career, Julie's credits range from television to film, the NY stage and symphonies all over the country, along with the most lavish casinos and showrooms everywhere.

She began her professional career at the tender age of twelve, after meeting record producer/orchestrator Herb Bernstein. He immediately took Julie under his wing and introduced her to Merv Griffin at a recording session in New York City. After hearing Julie sing, this "Mini Girl with the Maxi Voice "was invited to appear on more than 100 of Merv's shows.

From there Julie went on to appear on "The Tonight Show", "Entertainment Tonight" and every major TV show. In the years that followed Julie co- starred with such legendary performers as Frank Sinatra, Bill Cosby, Carol Burnett, and Liberace.

As Julie recalls. "What a way to grow up and start in this business! These people were wonderful to me. Some kids went to school, but I went to work and learned from the best each one of these performers was a professor to me, and I was lucky to have had the opportunity to know them all."

While touring in her one-woman shows, Julie's concerts have included performances at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, The London Palladium, Tel Aviv's Israel Performing Art's Center, venues in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and major symphony halls in the United States. She has become a favorite to many of the Symphony Orchestra's including: The Baltimore Symphony, The National Symphony, The Pittsburgh Symphony, The Austin Symphony, The Alabama Symphony, The Philadelphia Symphony, The Boca Pops, The Milwaukee Symphony, and The Dallas Symphony.

Budd has also pursued an exciting acting career having appeared in productions with the prestigious Circle Repertory Company in New York City, Playwrights Horizon in NYC, appearing on Broadway at the Lunt-Fontanne Theater, and in Neil Simon's They're Playing Our Song.

Performances of Some Enchanted Evening: The Songs of Rodgers & Hammerstein will be presented Wednesday, June 11 through Sunday, June 15 at Surflight Theatre, 201 Engleside Avenue in historic Beach Haven on Long Beach Island.
