The Sound of Music was the final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein, destined to become the world’s most beloved musical.
When aspiring nun Maria proves too high-spirited for the religious life, she’s dispatched to serve as governess for the seven children of a widowed naval captain.
Her growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of spirit, gradually capture the heart of the stern captain, and they marry.
Upon returning from their honeymoon, they discover that the Nazis have invaded Austria and demand the Captain’s immediate service in their navy. The family’s narrow escape over the mountains to Switzerland on the eve of World War II provides one of the most thrilling and inspirational finales ever presented in the theater.
The motion picture version remains the most popular movie musical of all time.
