The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein has become one of the world's most beloved musicals. Featuring the famous melodies of "Edelweiss," "My Favorite Things," "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," "Do-Re-Mi," and the title song, "The Sound of Music," this blockbuster won a Tony Award for Best Musical and later the movie musical adaptation won an Academy Award for Best Picture.

When Maria proves too high-spirited for the religious life, she is dispatched to serve as governess for the seven children of the widowed Captain von Trapp. Her growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of spirit, gradually captures the heart of the stern Captain, and they marry. After their honeymoon, the family's narrow escape from the Nazis over the mountains to Switzerland on the eve of World War II provides a thrilling finale!
