The Sound of Music

With music and lyrics by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, and a book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, THE SOUND OF MUSIC is one of the most well-known and beloved musicals of all time. Winner of 5 1959 Tony Awards, THE SOUND OF MUSIC takes place just before World War II, where aspiring nun Maria is sent to be a governess for World War I hero and widower Captain von Trapp and his seven children. The Captain, both strict and stoic, does not approve of Maria's unconventional ways; however he and Maria both begin to fall in love with one another, despite his engagement to another woman, and her vows to the church. After fleeing the von Trapp home and reaching deep into her soul, Maria returns to the von Trapps, and the Captain just in time to find out the Captain has been summoned to duty for the Third Reich. Instead, Maria and her new family head for the hills of Switzerland and freedom. One of Rodgers and Hammerstein's most beautiful scores, the musical includes the songs 'My Favorite Things', 'Do-Re-Mi', 'Climb Ev’ry Mountain', 'Edelweiss' and 'So Long, Farewell'. Share the love of this heart-warming tale with the entire family!
