Alongside a powerful lead, the performance benefited from smart stage design, with nearly every scene from the first act featuring a new location. The iconic mountains appeared as a backdrop, complete with a bridge, transporting audiences out of doors before inviting them into the von Trapps’ home, outfitted with a large chandelier and impressive staircase. Barring minor technical difficulties in the first act, the stage design worked to elevate the performance beyond a simple play and into an immersive experience.
