Synopsis
The story of the von Trapp family and their escape from Nazi occupation. Made famous by the film starring Julie Andrews and containing such songs as Climb Every Mountain, I am Sixteen, Do a Deer and many more.
Our Review:
John Dixon - 21 September 2011
Move over Andrews and Fisher, Verity Rushworth has rightfully claimed the role of Maria as her own. She has swapped the fields of Emmerdale for the mountainsides of Austria and her TV persona of eleven years, Donna Windsor, seems a life time away from her stage performance.
Few people are unfamiliar with the classic film version of this musical and many watched Connie Fisher win the role of Maria for the 2006 London Palladium revival of the Sound of Music. But this touring version of that production, is a no expense spared, glossy, often funny, feel good family show, that allows you to literally sit back and wallow in nostalgia.
For staging reasons a few scenes and order of the songs have been changed, as well as original numbers missing from the movie restored. In fact the breakup of the relationship between the Captain (Keiron Crook) and Baroness (Jacinta Mulcahy) makes much more sense on stage, than it ever did in the film.
We first meet Maria (Rushworth)...
