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. When Maria spins into Do-Re-Mi, or when Edelweiss settles over a quiet room, you aren't just hearing music. You're remembering who sat beside you the first time you heard it. On January 17, 2027, at 1:00 PM, The Sound of Music brings that feeling to Clowes Memorial Hall in Indianapolis, as live theatre.

At the center is Maria and the von Trapp family, a story about love, resilience and the way music can pull people together. It isn't only the familiar score, with Sixteen Going on Seventeen among its best-known numbers. It's watching Maria's choices unfold on stage, in front of you, with the emotion of a live performance. Richard Rodgers wrote the music, Oscar Hammerstein II the lyrics, and Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse the book, drawing on Maria Augusta Trapp's The Trapp Family Singers. Jack O'Brien directs this North American touring production, presented by Broadway in Indianapolis.

This is also a rare kind of outing: one that can work for a grandparent, a parent and a kid at the same time. Let the story give you something to talk about on the ride home. This Sunday matinee is part of a run at Clowes Memorial Hall from January 12 to 17, 2027.
