The Sound of Music

The Sound of Music at Clowes Memorial Hall

Maria doesn't fit the rules she's handed. That's exactly why the von Trapp family needs her. When The Sound of Music comes to Clowes Memorial Hall in Indianapolis on January 16, 2027, at 2:00 PM, those melodies stop being memories and become something happening right in front of you.

At the center is Maria, and the choices she makes when she meets the von Trapp family. This story is about love, resilience and the role music plays in bringing people together. Rodgers and Hammerstein's score carries that feeling, with Do-Re-Mi, Sixteen Going on Seventeen and Edelweiss among its songs. Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse wrote the book, and the musical draws on Maria Augusta Trapp's The Trapp Family Singers. Jack O'Brien directs this touring staging, presented by Broadway in Indianapolis as part of its January 12-17, 2027 engagement.

The Saturday matinee gives the story a natural place in your day. That matters because this is theatre, not a screen. You share the room with the story, and with everyone around you. It's also a rare show that works for a whole family: a grandparent who knows every lyric, a parent who grew up humming along, a kid hearing it for the first time. Sit together, then talk about it on the drive home. That's a worthwhile outing. Plan your outing, choose your seats and grab your tickets for The Sound of Music in Indianapolis.
