The Byham Theater will be alive with The Sound of Music next month. The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein will star Pittsburgh favorite Lara Hayhurst as Maria. The spirited, romantic and beloved musical story of Maria and the von Trapp Family will thrill audiences with its award-winning score, including "My Favorite Things," "Do-Re-Mi," "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," "Edelweiss" and the title song. The motion picture version also remains the most popular movie musical of all time.

Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. on March 5, 6, 7, 13, 14 and at 2 p.m. on March 8 and 15 at the Byham Theater, located at 101 Sixth St. in the city's Cultural District.
