2013 Mainstage Season

The Sound of Music

April 26 - May 19

Music by Richard Rodgers
Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
Book by Howard Lindsay and Russell Crouse
Suggested by "The Story of the Trapp Family Singers"

It seems only fitting that the final Rodgers & Hammerstein collaboration was destined to become the world's most beloved musical. When postulant Maria Rainer proves too high-spirited for the religious life, she is dispatched to serve as governess for the seven children of a widowed naval officer, Captain von Trapp. Her growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of spirit, clash with the Captain, his fiancee and eventually the Nazis as they seize power of her Austrian homeland. The well-known, Oscar-winning motion picture version remains the most popular movie musical of all time. Featuring such classic songs as "Climb Every Mountain," "Do Re Mi", "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" and the enchanting title song "The Sound of Music," this is a timeless show worth reintroducing to your family again and again.

This musical is suitable for all audiences.

What the Audience is saying:

“What a professional production! I could not have asked for more. I saw a cast that was not only talented, but they were well rehearsed. They sang beautifully, but most importantly, had an understanding of the genre. The show flowed, was funny, and took itself seriously enough to work. It was great!!�?
