This December, a brand-new worldwide production of THE SOUND OF MUSIC, the most popular musical in the world, will make its debut in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The uplifting true story of Maria, the vivacious governess who brought music back into the lives of the widowed Captain von Trapp and his seven children, is told in this critically acclaimed original production, which culminates in the family's escape across the Austrian mountains as tensions rise just before World War II breaks out.
The greatest achievement of Rodgers and Hammerstein was the original 1959 Broadway production of THE SOUND OF MUSIC, which was honoured with five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and a Grammy Award for Best Show Album. One of the most well-known films ever made is the 1965 film Maria starring Julie Andrews, which won five Oscars, including Best Picture.
