Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
Book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse
Suggested by The Trapp Family Singers by Maria Augusta Trapp
A CWP Mainstage Musical Production
June 2nd – 24th, 2023
Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. Sundays at 2 p.m.
The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world’s most beloved musical.
Featuring a trove of cherished songs, including “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” “My Favorite Things,” “Do Re Mi,” “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” and the title number, The Sound of Music won the hearts of audiences worldwide, earning five Tony Awards and five Oscars.
The inspirational story, based on the memoir of Maria Augusta Trapp, follows an ebullient postulate who serves as governess to the seven children of the imperious Captain von Trapp, bringing music and joy to the household.
But as the forces of Nazism take hold of Austria, Maria and the entire von Trapp family must make a moral decision.
Presented with the support of the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners.
The Sound of Music is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Tams-Witmark. www.concordtheatricals.com
At the close of the performance, my face hurt from laughing, but what else would you expect from a musical with the name Mel Brooks attached. This over-the-top and exquisitely offensive masterpiece, with everything from the producer's casting couch, grossly stereotypical ultra-sexy foreign female secretary/actress, sex-crazed old ladies to syrupy-sweet gay characters to literally, singing and dancing Nazis, this show is the antithesis to today's political correctness. The Producers at Carrollwood Players has something to make everyone do a little squirm in their seats and I loved every purposely-uncomfortable minute of this madcap story that revels in Mel Brook's irreverent humor.
