by Richard Rodgers
Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
Book by Howard Lindsey and Russel Crouse
Suggested by “The Story of the Trapp Family Singers”
Directed by Terry Helland
Love and freedom triumph in the joyful Rodgers and Hammerstein’s
beloved musical favorite. It’s the uplifting story
of a would-be nun, Maria, who is too high-spirited for
religious life. She is dispatched to become governess
to the seven children of a stern, widowed naval captain
in Nazi-occupied Austria. Written by Howard Lindsay
and Russel Crouse and based on the real-life story of
the Trapp Family Singers. With favorite songs like “Climb
Ev’ry Mountain” and “Edelweiss”,
the more you see it, the more it becomes one of your
favorite things.
