The hills are alive in this brand-new, intimate and heartfelt re-imagining of the beloved musical classic! Maria’s sunny nature and passion for music brings joy and laughter back to the Von Trapp family, and melts the Captain’s cold heart. Your spirits will soar to the Tony, Grammy, and Oscar-winning score, including “My Favorite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,” “Climb Every Mountain,” and, of course, the title song. Love triumphs and light wins over the darkest of times.
