The Sound of Music has been a family favorite for years. The new stage production that is in Denver through Sunday gives audiences an opportunity to reconnect with this classic tale of Maria and the Von Trapp family. From the opening number, featuring the enormous voice of Melody Betts (The Mother Abbess), you are instantly transported to Austria and the life story of Maria Rainer. 

Even if you have seen other versions of The Sound of Musicthis new rendition features a talented vocal cast that breathes new life into all your favorite songs including 
“My Favorite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,” “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” and “Edelweiss.” The cast has a chemistry that makes you believe this is the Von Trapp family.

“We plan to look more closely at this remarkable work – to tear off the varnish of the past and reveal one of the great, fresh glories of musical theater,” says three-time Tony Award-winning Director Jack O’Brien.
