⭐ THE SOUND OF MUSIC REVIVAL – STARRING GINA BECK – ANNOUNCED FOR CHICHESTER FESTIVAL THEATRE ⭐
A brand-new revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music is set for Chichester Festival Theatre, it has been announced.
Gina Beck, whose performance as Nellie Forbush in CFT 2021’s South Pacific, was also acclaimed in London and on a UK tour, returns to play Maria.
Austria, 1938. Free-spirited nun Maria is sent away from her abbey to become governess to the widowed Captain von Trapp’s seven children. She brings music and laughter back to his unfeeling household, but the future holds more joy and jeopardy than she ever dreamed possible.
The Sound of Music was Rodgers and Hammerstein’s last and perhaps most treasured musical, and is now produced at Chichester for the first time. The glorious score is a box of delights, from Climb Ev’ry Mountain, My Favorite Things and Edelweiss to Do-Re-Mi and The Sound of Music itself.
This brand-new production of the original stage musical is directed by Adam Penford, Artistic Director of Nottingham Playhouse, where his productions include Piaf and The Madness of George III; and designed by Robert Jones (Murder on the Orient Express, The Unfriend, Oklahoma!).
The Sound of Music will play Chichester Festival Theatre, running from 10th July – 3rd September 2023.
Wonderful! ! !
