Madison Wisconsin Is Alive With The Sound Of Music

    /24-7PressRelease/ - MADISON, WI, June 08, 2007 - The Sound of Music is a true story of Maria Rainer, a postulant sent to Austria during the 1930's to work as a governess for the bedridden daughter of retired sea Captain Georg Von Trapp. Out of an abusive childhood at the hands of a strict cousin, Maria captured the heart of the captain and his children with the sound of music.

The Sound of Music will open on June 22, 2007 at 7:30 p.m. at Middleton (Wisconsin) Performing Arts Center, 2100 Bristol Street, Middleton WI. (Map) (Tickets) (Cast) (Schedule)

The Sound of Music, based on a true story, has captured the hearts of children and adults since its beginnings as a broadway hit. It is one of the many education-focused cultural events featured during 2007 by the Music Theatre of Madison (Wisconsin). Rodgers and Hammerstein's final musical collaboration features favorites such as "Climb Every Mountain", "Eidelweiss", "My Favorite Things", "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" and, of course, "The Sound of Music".
