The Sound of Music - 17th to 25th May 2012
Directed by Bryan Aitken
SYNOPSIS
Maria is a sweet young postulant whose love of freedom makes it obvious to her superiors that she is not suited for religious life. Thus, she is sent off to be the governess to Captain von Trapp's seven troublesome children. Unlike previous governess', Maria becomes friends with the children due to their mutual love of music. Soon, even the strict Captain begins to admire Maria. Eventually, the Captain and Maria fall in love and are married. Unfortunately, when the Nazis invade their homeland, Austria, the whole family is forced to flee over the alps to escape.
Among the songs featured in the score are classics like "My Favorite Things," "Do-Re-Mi," "So Long, Farewell," "Sixteen Going on Seventeen," and of course the title tune.
