Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, who starred as Maria and Captain von Trapp in the film version of The Sound of Music, will be among that film’s stars who will reunite for the first time in 45 years on the Thursday, October 28 episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show.
They will be joined by fellow cast members Charmian Carr (Liesl), Nicholas Hammond (Friedrich), Heather Menzies-Urich (Louisa), Duane Chase (Kurt), Angela Cartwright (Brigitta), Debbie Turner (Marta), and Kym Karath (Gretl).
The cast will share secrets from the set, reminiscences about their time together, and what their lives have been like in the years since the movie was released.
In addition, the von Trapp Children — a singing group featuring members of the real von Trapp family — will pay their own special tribute to the film that made their family name known throughout the world.
The 1965 film is based on the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein stage musical. It won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture. A special edition of the film will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray on November 2.
