Lose yourself to the Von Trapp family's daring adventures
Bill Kenwright presents a new and exciting production of this stunning modern classic, in honour of the show's 50th Anniversary! With an iconic heroine and beautiful songs, this celebratory production at the New Wimbledon Theatre will delight fans old and new!
In the heart of the Austrian Alps, a young woman named Maria is in training to become a Nun. Unsure that such a free-spirited soul as Maria is ready for a life of pious devotion, the Head Sister assigns her to the role of governess to the children of local naval officer Captain Georg von Trapp.
As Maria discovers, the Von Trapp children have run off several governesses before her through their mischievous behaviour, but with a little love and time (and a lot of singing) Maria begins to win them over. Her kind-heartedness and patience also begins to dispel the gloom around their father, who is still in mourning for his late wife, and the two begin to fall in love. But danger looms on the horizon with the advent of World War II, and the Captain faces being drafted into the German army.
Yes, Maria was a real person. The memoir of this Austrian governess was filmed in 1956 as Die Trapp-Familie, which in turn inspired Rogers and Hammerstein to turn her extraordinary story into a Broadway show. Debuting in 1959 at The Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, The Sound of Music won five Tonys, with it's reputation being cemented by the subsequent Julie Andrews starring movie adaptation.
Often wrongly assumed to be a traditional Austrian folk song, Edelweiss was indeed written for the musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein.
