Musical Performance: The Sound of Music May 14, 2010

May 14-July 4

The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world's most beloved musical. When a postulant proves too high-spirited for the religious life, she’s dispatched to serve as governess for the children of a widowed naval Captain. Her growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of spirit, gradually captures the heart of the stern Captain, but when Austria is invaded by the Nazis, they demand the Captain's immediate service in their navy, and the family must plan their escape. This timeless classic features such musical favorites as "My Favorite Things," "Do, Re, Mi," "Edelweiss," "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," and, of course "The Sound of Music." "Reminds us that there is still joy to be found in the simplest things. The hills truly are alive. Just the ticket for these difficult times."
