Rodgers and Hammerstein’s beloved musical, The Sound of Music, is coming to Tuggerah’s Red Tree theatre from May 11-27.
Directed by Joshua Maxwell, the show features a talented local cast aged 8-70, with Sophie Booth taking on the iconic role of Maria Von Trapp and Daniel Widdowson portraying the stern yet endearing Captain Von Trapp.
Audience members can expect to be captivated by the powerful performances, unforgettable music and uplifting story.
Set against the backdrop of the beautiful Austrian Alps during the lead-up to World War II, The Sound of Music tells the story of Maria, a young woman who leaves her life as a nun to become the governess for the Von Trapp family.
The musical follows Maria as she helps the family rediscover love, music and joy amidst the encroaching darkness of the war.
Maxwell said the musical was still relevant.
“As we face our own challenging times, with some dark parts of history rearing again, The Sound of Music continues to resonate with audiences due to its themes of hope, love, and resilience,” he said.
“This production serves as a reminder that even in the face of adversity, we can find strength in unity and the power of music.”
The Red Tree Theatre is committed to providing a space for local talent to shine, and this production is no exception.
Tickets are available at www.redtreetheatre.org.au or by calling the box office between 11am and 2pm on Thursdays and Fridays.
