Rodger's and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music will return to the Wichita Theatre for the first time since 2009 from October 11-26.

The story is set in Austria near World War II and follows a young woman named Maria who is deciding if she wants to become a nun and takes a temporary job as a governess for Captain Von Trapp and his many children. When the Nazis request Captain Von Trapp for the navy, he opposes, and the family must flee Austria as a result.

The Sound of Music features music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hamerstein II, and a book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse. The show first opened on Broadway in 1959 at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre and won Best Musical along with 5 other awards at The Tony Awards. Since then, the show has become a staple in American culture with songs like "My Favorite Things" and "Do-Re-Mi".
