The Sound of Music

Connie Fisher returns as Maria in the world’s bestloved musical, The Sound of Music which is touring the UK from July 2009. This lavish and critically acclaimed production, direct from the London Palladium, tells the story of the Von Trapp family's flight across the mountains and works its magic once again, for young and old alike. With its unforgettable score that includes some of the most memorable songs ever performed on the musical stage including My Favorite Things, Do-Re-Mi, Climb Ev’ry Mountain, The Lonely Goatherd, and of course the glorious title song The Sound of Music, it’s the perfect family treat!
