Julie Andrews News

The Broadway National Tour of the beloved Rodgers & Hammerstein musical, THE SOUND OF MUSIC has arrived in Toronto this holiday season and it is the perfect excursion for the entire family.

As Julie Andrews says, “When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I’m feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don't feel so bad.” Here are 5 things I am extremely grateful for that my BFA program at Otterbein has given me.

There are some stories that never grow old, and The Sound of Music is definitely one of them. Sixty years after the movie premiered, and sixty-six since the stage show first hit Broadway, this tale of love, family, the healing power of music, and resistance against persecution in 1930s Austria is as relevant and heartwarming as ever. Leicester Curve’s Christmas production, directed by Nikolai Foster, gives it a fresh new look while honouring the original and providing beautiful renditions of the Rodgers and Hammerstein songs we know and love.
