Winner of 5 Tony Awards including Best Musical
This classic favorite is based on the true memoirs of Maria von Trapp's book The Story of the Trapp Family Singers. It centers around a young nun, Maria, who is sent to be the governess to an Austrian family of seven children and their widowed father, a naval Captain, on the eve of World War II. Maria brings love and attention to the motherless children, and shares with them her love of music. Her growing rapport with the children, coupled with her generosity of spirit, gradually captures the heart of the stern Captain. THE SOUND OF MUSIC features one of the most family-friendly and popular scores in Broadway history. With songs such as My Favorite Things, Do-Re-Mi, So Long, Farewell, and Climb Ev'ry Mountain, it is the perfect show to share with the entire family during the holiday season.
