STAGE

Music to Our Ears
The beloved Rogers and Hammerstein
musical,
The Sound of Music
, arrives this
month, giving you a chance to experience
one of the most famous shows of all time.
Set in Austria during WWII,
The Sound of
Music
tells the heartwarming, true story of
Maria, a fun-loving governess, who changes
the lives of the widowed Captain Von Trapp
and his children by bringing music into
their home.
In addition to hearing memorable songs
like “My Favourite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,”
“Sixteen Going on Seventeen” and, of
course, the title song, audiences can look
forward to seeing young faces from both
the expat and Singaporean communities
on stage. Of the 400 students from 50
schools who auditioned, 18 were chosen
for the coveted roles of six of the seven
Von Trapp children, and will be performing
on a rotation basis; the eldest Von Trapp
sibling, Leisl, will be played by a regular
cast member from the touring production.
See it from 11 to 27 July at MasterCard
Theatres, Marina Bay Sands. Tickets from
Sistic.
