The inspirational story, based on the memoir of Maria Augusta Trapp, follows an ebullient postulant who serves as governess to the seven children of the imperious Captain von Trapp, bringing music and joy to the household. But, as the forces of Nazism take hold of Austria, Maria and the entire von Trapp family must make a moral decision.
Featuring a trove of cherished songs, including “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” “My Favourite Things,” “Do Re Mi,” “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” and the title number, The Sound of Music won the hearts of audiences worldwide, earning five Tony Awards and five Oscars.
The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world’s most beloved musical and The Sound of Music has inspired audiences since it first opened in 1959 with its story of love and freedom.
The Altrincham Garrick Playhouse brings you a Musical for October Half Term that is perfect for all generations.
