The Sound of Music features music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, and is inspired by the memoirs “The Trapp Family Singers” by Maria Augusta Trapp. The original Broadway production debuted in 1958 led by Mary Martin and was followed by a record breaking film in 1965 starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. The unforgettable musical tells the story of troubled nun sent to care for 7 well off children in a strict home run by a former sea-captain. She changes their lives forever through song and incredible heart.
