About The SOUND of MUSIC -
“The Sound of Music” is a musical with music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, and a book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse. It is based on the 1949 memoir of Maria von Trapp, The Story of the Trapp Family Singers. The musical premiered on Broadway in 1959 and has since become one of the most beloved musicals of all time. It is based on a true story about the Von Trapp family, who famously escaped the occupation of Austria by the Nazi’s at the start of the Second World War. It tells the story of Maria, who becomes a governess for the seven children of Captain von Trapp and the musical features many popular songs such as “My Favourite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,” “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” and "The Sound of Music".
November 16, 1959 The Sound of Music premiered on Broadway with Mary Martin starring as Maria. Since then, The Sound of Music has remained one of the world’s most popular and well-loved musicals. There are so many wonderful songs in this musical that it is a sheer delight to watch and perform.
Redcliffe Musical Theatre (RMT) are delighted to bring this iconic musical to the Redcliffe Entertainment Centre in September-October for a season of 8 performances.
About REDCLIFFE MUSICAL THEATRE –
Redcliffe Musical Theatre (RMT) was formed in 2009 and performed their first main stage production – The Sound of Music in August 2010. And we look forward to reprising this musical with a new generation of Von Trapp children – but still reaching out to our local community theatre performers to join us for the Nuns’ Chorus, the wonderful cast of interesting characters including Uncle Max, the Baroness, Mother Abbess and of course Maria and the Captain.
RMT has a mission to bring high-quality, affordable productions to the Moreton Bay Region and take away the barriers of cost and travel to those who would like to enjoy musical theatre.
Since our inception we have produced over 30 major musicals at the Redcliffe Entertainment Centre and delivered quality locally-produced entertainment to over 50,000 patrons. Some of the highlights include the World Community Theatre Premier of Saturday Night Fever (2015), The Qld Premier of Wicked (2016) and also School of Rock (2021) and the Australian Premier of Captain Moonlight (2020). Our most popular shows to date (box office and audience numbers) have been Phantom of the Opera (2013), Priscilla Queen of the Desert (2022) and Mamma Mia (2020/21).
We look forward to have you join us in 2023 for The Sound of Music.
