The Sound of Music
2025 • Greenlight Theatre Company
Loosely based on the true story of the Von Trapp Family Singers, the beloved musical follows Maria Rainer, who becomes a governess to the seven children of a widowed naval commander in Austria just as the Nazi party is coming into power.
The original Broadway production in 1959 was built around Mary Martin’s performance as Maria, but the musical is known best to most from its 1965 film adaptation starring Julie Andrews, which has become a beloved classic.

Synopsis
The Sound of Music tells the uplifting story of Maria, a spirited young woman who leaves an Austrian convent to become a governess to the seven children of a strict widower, Captain von Trapp. As Maria introduces music and laughter back into the family’s home, her charm and kindness win the hearts of the children and their initially reluctant father. Set against the onset of World War II, the musical highlights themes of love, courage, and resilience. With memorable songs like “Edelweiss,” “My Favorite Things” and “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” this timeless story celebrates the transformative power of music and the spirit of human endurance.
