PLOT SYNOPSIS
Based on the true story of the Von Trapp family, "The Sound of Music" was
the final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein and became the
world's most beloved musical. When a postulant, Maria, proves too
high-spirited for the religious life, she is dispatched to serve as
governess for the seven children of a widowed naval Captain. Her growing
rapport with the Von Trapp children, coupled with her generosity of spirit,
gradually captures the heart of the stern Captain and they marry. Upon
returning from their honeymoon they discover that Austria has been invaded
by the Nazis, who demand the Captain's immediate service in their navy. The
family's narrow escape over the mountains to Switzerland on the eve of World
War II provides one of the most thrilling and inspirational finales ever
presented in the theatre. The motion picture version remains the most
popular movie musical of all time. "The Sound of Music" is presented
through special arrangement with R & H Theatricals:
