This holiday season, the Olney Theatre Center will present The Sound of Music, a Broadway musical that has sparked one of the world's most popular movies, a half dozen hit songs which are now classics, and thousands of holiday memories. The show runs November 16, 2011 through January 22, 2012. Since the story of the Von Trapp family and Maria, a nun turned governess who brings the Austrian family together through the power of song on the eve of World War II, debuted on Broadway, it has become a much loved holiday tradition on stage and screen for generations of families. The Broadway musical, starring Mary Martin and Theo Bikel, was released in 1959, and was written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. The 1965 movie, with Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, made its songs even more popular: "The Sound of Music", "Edelweiss", "My Favorite Things", "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" and "Do-Re-Mi" are much loved standards today. Tickets are on sale now.
