The Sound of Music

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.

Music by Richard Rodgers

Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II

“simply exquisite” North West End Uk – Katie Leicester

“With Neil Bennett in the pit with his “chamber orchestra”, a solid ensemble of Garrick thespians, and Joe Meighan’s direction, this is a truly wonderful half-term treat, and a real feather in the Garrick’s cap.”Number 9 – Matthew Dougal

The Garrick is a non-professional organisation that is extremely well regarded for the high quality of our productions; however we rely on the hard work and generosity of our volunteers. Many of our patrons believe that our ticket prices are too low considering our large overheads, the quality of our productions and the overall high standard of the theatrical experience that we provide. We also have a wonderful youth Academy, GAPA which offers theatre stagecraft tuition to over 100 students per term. (We also offer Bursaries so please feel free to enquire).

If you agree and like what you see, then we ask that you support your local Playhouse by kindly donating whatever you can when you book tickets online or at our Box Office. Remember you can also gift aid your kind donation.

Your support will enable the Garrick to grow and thrive. WE ARE MOST GRATEFUL, THANK YOU!
