The Sound of Music
The original Broadway production opened in 1959 and won 5 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. In 1965 it was adapted as a film starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, and brought home 5 Academy Awards. This show is also notable because it was the last written by Rodgers and Hammerstein; Oscar Hammerstein died 9 months after the Broadway premiere.
Set in Austria in 1938 on the eve of Anschluss, the invasion and incorporation of Austria by Nazi Germany, The Sound of Music tells the story of Maria, who becomes the governess of a large family while deciding whether to become a nun. She grows to love the children and their widowed father, Captain von Trapp.
Among this show's particular treasures are the songs: "Edelweiss," "My Favorite Things," "Climb Every Mountain," "Do-Re-Mi," and "The Sound of Music.
Many critics loved this production as much as audiences. Richard Watts Jr. of the NY Post said the show "had strangely gentle charm that is wonderfully endearing." We agree!
