ThE Hills Are Alive With The Sound Of Music!

Starring Tony nominee Jasmine Amy Rogers as Maria!

For the first time in nearly three decades, The Sound of Music returns to Broadway in a new production directed by three-time Tony Award nominee Lear deBessonet, Lincoln Center Theater’s Kewsong Lee Artistic Director (Ragtime, 2026 Tony Award winner for Best Revival of a Musical, Into the Woods), with choreography by Tony Award winner Christopher Gatelli (Schmigadoon!).

The Rodgers and Hammerstein classic originally opened on the Great White Way in 1959 and garnered five Tony Awards for a score packed with timeless tunes, including bona fide classics like “Do-Re-Mi,” “Sixteen Going on Seventeen,” “My Favourite Things,” and, of course, the titular theme. Its status as a pop culture classic was further solidified with the release of the 1965 film featuring the legendary Julie Andrews as free-spirited heroine Maria.

What’s The Story?

Set on the eve of the Anschluss in Austria, The Sound of Music is based on the memoir of real-life historical figure Maria von Trapp. Originally a novice nun, Maria is sent to become the governess to the von Trapp family due to her wild imagination and headstrong behaviour. Upon arrival, the seven mischievous von Trapp children treat her with contempt, but the courageous Maria uses kindness and care, eventually winning them over with a song and dance number or two. Her radiant presence also has an effect on the children’s widowed father, and romance blooms amidst growing political turmoil that will lead to World War II.
