Sound of Music - Manchester Theatre Break

Based on the true story of the Von Trapp family The Sound of Music is one of the most recognisable musicals of all time. The 1956 film starring Julia Andrews became a cult hit and the show now has millions of fans worldwide. With music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II the songs have become iconic of musical theatre.

In Salzburg, Austria Maria Rainer is preparing to begin her life as a nun, struggling to adjust to life in the convent Maria is sent by Mother Abbess to become governess to the children of widowed naval captain Captain Georg Von Trapp. The seven Von Trapp children are used to discipline and military order and Maria teaches them to sing and to embrace the joys of life.

Their father the Captain is pursuing a rich Baroness but it soon become apparent that his feelings are for Maria.
