Greenwood Little Theatre’s second production of the 2009-2010 season will be the beloved classic, The Sound of Music.
The Sound of Music boasts music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and a book by Howard Lindsay and Russell Crouse. It is based on the memoir of Maria Von Trapp, The Story of the Trapp Family Singers. Many songs from the musical have become standards, including the title song "The Sound of Music", "Edelweiss", "My Favorite Things", "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" and "Do-Re-Mi".
The original Broadway production, starring Mary Martin opened in November 1959, and the show has enjoyed numerous productions and revivals since then. It has also been made into an Academy Awards -winning 1965 film starring Julie Andrews. The Sound of Music was the final musical written by Rodgers and Hammerstein. Hammerstein died of cancer nine months after the Broadway premiere.
Greenwood Little Theatre’s production of this musical masterpiece is being directed by Cathy Roberts and Elaine Tharpe.
