The Sound of Music

This lively production provides an opportunity to introduce a whole new generation to one of the most beloved musicals of all time. The show depicts the gripping personal saga of Maria and the von Trapp family, set against the backdrop of the Nazi occupation of Austria leading up to World War II. The unforgettable musical score by Rodgers and Hammerstein includes such songs as "My Favorite Things," "Climb Every Mountain," and "Edelweiss." Winning the Tony Award for Best Musical in 1959, The Sound of Music was made into a hugely popular film that starred Julie Andrews and won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1965.
