One of the most beloved musicals of all time, performed live on the Virginia's historic stage!
In Austria, 1938, an exuberant young governess brings music and joy back to a broken family, only to face danger and intrigue as the Nazis gain power.
The inspirational story of THE SOUND OF MUSIC, based on the memoir of Maria Augusta Trapp, follows an ebullient postulate who serves as governess to the seven children of the imperious Captain von Trapp, bringing music and joy to the household.
But, as the forces of Nazism take hold of Austria, Maria and the entire von Trapp family find they have an important decision to make.
