From DCPA: “For 65 years, The Sound of Music has been one of our ‘favorite things’. With its timeless story and irresistibly charming score, the Rodgers & Hammerstein classic isn’t just meant to be enjoyed—it’s meant to be shared.
Now, a critically acclaimed North American tour brings the cherished musical to stages across the country to teach a new generation to sing.”
