Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music
One of the most beloved musicals of all time, The Sound of Music tells the story of a sweet young girl named Maria sent off to be the governess of Captain von Trapp's seven troublesome children. Through their mutual love of music, the von Trapp family comes to admire Maria. But when the Nazis invade Austria, the whole family is forced to flee their homeland in hopes of finding freedom. With its unforgettable score that includes musical favorites like "My Favorite Things," "Do-Re-Mi," "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" and "The Lonely Goatherd," The Sound of Music is the perfect family treat!
