The Sound of Music

The Sound of Music at Clowes Memorial Hall

The hills are alive, but the heart of The Sound of Music is the family learning to sing together. Do-Re-Mi, Sixteen Going on Seventeen and Edelweiss all belong to the stage score of The Sound of Music, and on January 16, 2027, they can fill Clowes Memorial Hall in Indianapolis as live theatre, not just a memory from the couch.

At the center is Maria, and the choices she makes when she meets the von Trapp family. It's a story of love, resilience and the role music plays in bringing people together. That is what makes it more than a parade of familiar tunes. Richard Rodgers wrote the music, Oscar Hammerstein II the lyrics, and Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse the book. The musical draws on The Trapp Family Singers by Maria Augusta Trapp. When a story is built on family and song, seeing it unfold in the same room as you feels personal.

This is the North American touring production, brought to Indianapolis by Broadway in Indianapolis, with Jack O'Brien directing the staging. Your 7:30 PM Saturday evening could become the night you share a favorite with a parent, a child, or a friend who has never seen it onstage. Some outings fade by Monday. If that sounds like your kind of night out, grab your seats for The Sound of Music at Clowes Memorial Hall and make room for the hills to come alive.
