Broadway Flavor The Sound of Music

Chongqing’s audiences will have chance to appreciate the Broadway Classic The Sound of Music between April 10 and 14. The music drama staged at the Chongqing People's Mansion is the first to be performed in Chongqing.

Cooperating with Broadway Asia Entertainment (“BAE”) and Troika Entertainment, Sound of Music features famous Broadway stars and wonderful stage designs to attract audiences, and especially white collar citizens.

The Sound of Music is known by most Chinese audiences by its film edition. But the musical edition is quite different from the film. In the music drama you can enjoy music you have never heard the film edition and interact with actors on the spot.

The Sound of Drama has been performed more than 2000 times since 1960 and this is the second time in China. It will proceed to its performance tour in Wuhan, Beijing, Shanghai and Macao after finished in Chongqing

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 memoirs of Maria von Trapp, The Story of the Trapp Family Singers. Songs from the musical that have become standards include "The Sound
of Music," "Edelweiss," "My Favorite Things," "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," and "Do-Re-Mi."

The original Broadway production opened in November 1959, and the show has enjoyed numerous productions and revivals since then. It has also been made into an Academy Award-winning 1965 movie musical. The Sound of Music was the final musical written by Rodgers and Hammerstein; Hammerstein died of
cancer nine months after the premiere.
