THE SOUND OF MUSIC on Tour

Queen Elizabeth Theatre12 Sep '17 to 17 Sep '17 @ 8:00 PM - 11:00 PM
  • THE SOUND OF MUSIC on Tour
A brand new production of THE SOUND OF MUSIC, produced by NETworks Presentations, is making its Vancouver premiere September 12 – 17, 2017 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre as part of a North American tour. 
 
THE SOUND OF MUSIC features music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, suggested by The Trapp Family Singers by Maria Augusta Trapp. The beloved musical story of Maria and the von Trapp Family will once again thrill audiences with its Tony, Grammy and Academy Award–winning Best Score, including “My Favorite Things,” “Edelweiss” and the title song.
 
In the words of Ted Chapin, President of Rodgers & Hammerstein, “I waited for a moment when we could rediscover THE SOUND OF MUSIC as it was originally created. Because of the enormous success of the film, few were aware that it started life as a hit Broadway show—and a very big hit at that! The artists behind this production embraced what the authors wrote, looked at it all through modern eyes and, in so doing, found depth and resonance that has been recognized by critics and audiences across the country. It's like visiting an old friend but finding yourself surprised as well. It's also a reminder of why this show is such an evergreen."
 
THE SOUND OF MUSIC is part of the Broadway Across Canada 17/18 Broadway Season and will run in Edmonton September 19 - 24 at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium and Calgary September 26 – October 1 at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium. 
 
Performances run – Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 8pm, Sunday evening 7:30pm with 2pm matinees on Saturday and Sunday. For more information, please visit SoundOfMusicOnTour.com.
