Set in Austria in the late 1930s, the country has succumbed to the Nazi yoke. A postulant nun, Maria, is sent by her Abbess to care for the seven children of the widower, Captain Von Trapp, an Austrian naval officer.

Soon, Maria has not only fallen in love with her young charges who she teaches to sing, but also with their father.

The Captain is initially unaware of her true feelings, but when the time comes for them to flee the Nazis, he realises how much he needs and loves Maria. Soon after their marriage, the family heads over the Alps to neutral Switzerland.

This thrilling, inspirational and romantic musical boasts one of Broadway’s most soaring scores with hits like: Climb Every Mountain, My Favourite Things, Maria, Do Re Mi, Sixteen Going On Seventeen and Edelweiss.
