Rodgers & Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music is one of the world’s most beloved musicals. After a overly enthusiastic nun is sent to serve as governess for the seven children of a widowed naval captain, she decides to take a different kind of vow. Marrying the stern turned sweet captain, she is on a high until the honeymoon ends and … Nazis invade Austria. The family seeks refuge over the mountains in Switzerland on the eve of World War II, and as the action persists, you’d better bet they hit some high notes too. $10-$17.
