The Sound of Music, the final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world's most beloved musical. When Maria proves too high-spirited for the religious life of a postulate, she is dispatched to serve as governess for the seven children of a widowed naval Captain. Her love for the children and generosity of spirit capture the heart of the stern Captain, and they marry. Upon returning from their honeymoon, Austria has been invaded by the Nazis, who demand the Captain's service in their navy. The family's 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.
