The Sound of Music

Set in Austria in the late 1930s, The Sound of Music is based on the memoirs of Maria Von Trapp, a nun who later worked as a governess. In this well-known musical, Maria goes to work for Captain Von Trapp, an authoritarian father of seven. After Maria spends some time with the children, she brings music into their lives and the atmosphere within their home begins to change. With popular songs such as "The Sound of Music," "Do-Re-Mi" and "My Favorite Things," The Sound of Music is a theatrical classic and one of Broadway's most beloved productions.
