The Sound of Music

When a postulant proves too high-spirited for the religious life, she is dispatched to serve as governess for the seven children of a widowed naval Captain. Her growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of spirit, gradually captures the heart of the stern Captain, and they marry. Upon returning from their honeymoon they discover that Austria has been invaded by the Nazis, who demand the Captain's immediate service in their navy. The family's narrow escape over the mountains to Switzerland on the eve of World War II provides one of the most thrilling and inspirational finales ever presented in the theatre.

Music by Richard Rodgers
Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein

Rave Reviews for "The Sound of Music"

Dante J.J. Bevilacqua, Ticket (Montgomery Newspapers): "A Sound production. Fine performances highlight the well-known story.... As Maria, [Michelle] Zacchei has a bright personality and a guileless voice. Jeffrey Rushton is confident and likeable in the role of Captain Georg von Trapp. Suzanne Smart is a nicely understated Mother Abbess.... Joe Erdeljac [as Max Detweiler] does exceptional work.... Carrie Bray shines as the oldest von Trapp daughter, Leisl."
