Summary

The beloved family classic comes alive once again! The world's most popular musical, Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music, comes brilliantly to life in this ambitious, live-broadcast production from BAFTA-nominated director Coky Giedroyc! The spectacular Kara Tointon (Mr. Selfridge, EastEnders) delivers a mesmerizing performance and incredible vocal talents as Maria, the tomboyish nun who reluctantly becomes the governess for seven children living in the shadow of their stern widower father (Julian Ovenden). Along with her required duties, Maria brings love, music and excitement back into the children's lives and also eventually begins to have an effect on their father. But just when things are looking up, the rise of Nazism and the looming threat of war darkens their future. Supported by Katherine Kelly as Baroness Elsa Schrader and Alexander Armstrong as Max Detweiler, The Sound of Music Live is an enchanting experience that will remain with you long after the last curtain call
