AsiaRooms.com - The Sound of Music to Receive Extended Manila Run

    MANILA, PHILIPPINES, April 22, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Fans of The Sound of Music can see a fun-filled new version of the classic show at the Newport Performing Arts Theater at Resorts World Manila.

Thanks to the popularity of the new production, it has been granted an extended run at the venue and will now close on May 27th 2012, giving fans and tourists more time to catch this Filipino-produced stage spectacular.

One of Rodgers and Hammerstein's most enduring musical classics, The Sound of Music tells the story of a headstrong postulant called Maria who is appointed governess to the seven children of Captain Georg von Trapp, melting his stern heart with her free-spirited nature.

The show's place in history was cemented by the Oscar-winning movie version starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, with songs like Edelweiss, My Favourite Things and Do-Re-Mi becoming household favourites.

Audiences can enjoy seeing an Asian cast of theatre veterans bringing the classic story to life on Fridays at 19:00 local time or at 14:00 during weekends.

Tickets can be purchased online from 1,000 pesos (GBP14.70).

Lovers of the iconic show can find a wide array of Manila hotels at AsiaRooms.com, including the Marriott Hotel Manila.
