The Sound of Music returns

This lavish production, presented by Pieter Toerien, David Ian and The Really Useful Group, tells the story of the Von Trapp family’s flight across the mountains from Austria, with its unforgettable score that includes some of the most memorable songs ever performed on the musical stage, including My Favourite Things, Edelweiss, Do-Re-Mi, Sixteen Going on Seventeen, The Lonely Goatherd, Climb Ev’ry Mountain, and the title song The Sound of Music.

Featuring an all-star South African cast back from their international tour, The Sound of Music is a must-see on the 2018 theatrical calendar.

Andre Schwartz will reprise his role as Captain Von Trapp with Carmen Pretorius taking over the role of Maria in the latest SA run.

With words and music by the legendary Rogers and Hammerstein [Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I], The Sound of Music originally premiered on Broadway in 1959 to record-breaking advance ticket sales, where it won eight Tony Awards–- including the Best Musical. The show opened in London in 1961 and became the longest-running American musical of its generation.

The 2014 SA production was a huge box office smash and garnered a flood of rave reviews from the media.

The Sound of Music opens at The Theatro at Montecasino on March 31 and ends on April 29. The show opens at the Artscape on May 6 and closes on May 27.
