ABOUT THE SOUND OF MUSIC

For the first time in nearly three decades, THE SOUND OF MUSIC returns to Broadway, directed by three-time Tony Award® nominee Lear deBessonet, Lincoln Center Theater’s Kewsong Lee Artistic Director (RAGTIME, 2026 Tony winner for Best Revival of a Musical, Into the Woods) and choreographed by Tony winner Chrisopher Gattelli (Schmigadoon). This revival finds new power in the intimate story of a family learning to love again, set against one of the most consequential moments of the twentieth century, as the Nazi regime rises to power and authoritarianism encroaches on daily life.

Featuring Rodgers & Hammerstein’s unforgettable score, including “Do-Re-Mi,” “My Favorite Things,” “Edelweiss,” and “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” and an iconic book written by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, and starring Tony nominee Jasmine Amy Rogers (BOOP!) as “Maria,” THE SOUND OF MUSIC returns at a moment when humanity, compassion, and conviction feel vital and necessary.
