Based on the 1967 film starring Julie Andrews, Mary Tyler Moore and Carol Channing, the nostalgic musical comedy is set in 1920s New York where recent arrival-from-Kansas Millie Dillmount is determined to bob her hair, dance to jazz, get a job and marry her boss - all in the modern fashion.
Would have been 5 if poor Jason Donovan had not been more wooden than the set. Having seen the other reviews, did something happen to JD in Glasgow. He was totally out of place in a superb cast. - Jim

I saw The Sound of Music in Glasgow on 1 June and although I love Jason Donovan I did not think the part suited him (sorry) - he seemed incredibly tense. Apart from that it was a superb show - Maria, all the children and the Reverend Mother were fantastic. - Amy

Oh, that's incredibly embarrassing...
The most annoying thing is that I know her name is Rushworth. Only yesterday I was raving about her performance and distinctly remember getting it right. Her name has been on the side of my morning bus for the last three months so there is really no excuse.
Maybe my brain was subconsciously trying to convey the monumentous strength of her sister Maria by comparing it with Rushmore. Or maybe I should stop writing reviews after midnight. There's a quote for your scrap book, Verity's mum!
I'm very sorry for such a glaringly obvious mistake. Let's blame autocorrect, the saviour and villain of all word documents. - Scott Purvis

Had the pleasure of going to see this show last night and WOW was it BRILLIANT. Jason Donovan was still the heart throb I remembered him to be while Verity Rushworth was absolutely fabulous as Maria. I has goose bumps running down my spine each time The Mother Abbess (Marilyn Hill Smith) sang Climb Every Mountain. Stunning scenery too and the children were fantastic. Could go back again tonight no problem. A totally fab night. Thanks to all who worked so hard to make it a wonderful show. - Siobhan

I'm just back from the Kings Theatre in Glasgow and just had to come and write a few words. The show was outstanding, I loved it from start to finish. Verity Rushworth is a true star and a lovely girl. She graciously agreed to meet my mum after the show and totally made her day if not year!! Thank you for a wonderful show and for being so kind!! - Halina Sawicki

Scott - How can I put this in her scrap book? Its Rushworth - not Rushmore. Very nice comments though! - Verity's mum! - Verity's mum

Come on Scott if you are going to give Verity a good review you could at least get her name right it is Rushworth - Gillimay
