One of the world’s most beloved musicals returns in director Jim Crabtree’s powerful new production! On the eve of World War II, widowed Austrian naval hero Captain Von Trapp and his children are shadowed by loss and sensing the looming threat of war. But when the free-spirited Maria arrives to be the children’s new governess, she brings music and love back into their lives - even that of the stern, lonely Captain. But will their newfound joy be shattered as the Third Reich occupies their once-peaceful homeland? This sweeping musical drama resonates with the power of a loving family fighting for life and country – until the nuns of Maria’s former convent defy the swastika and help them escape. Filled with unforgettable songs like My Favorite Things, Edelweiss, The Sound Of Music and the magnificent choral anthem Climb Every Mountain, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s award-winning work will live in your heart long after the final curtain falls.
