The Sound of Music (thesis project)
by • Music by Richard Rodgers • Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II • Book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse • Suggested by "The Trapp Family Singers" by Maria Augusta Trapp
Set against the backdrop of the rise of fascism in 1938 Austria, The Sound of Music tells the story of a young postulant who brings hope and music to a family in mourning. This show is timeless, and its themes of hope and integrity in the face of large-scale adversity are incredibly relevant to today’s society. The Sound of Music is about using music as a lens through which to interpret the world and how to cope in times of loss, fear, and isolation. This project explores that idea by using music to unite a broad range of Yale students as well as members of the New Haven community. The goal of this production is to promote joy and community through music, and to share that joy with a broader audience community through one of the most legendary musicals of all time.
THE SOUND OF MUSIC is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of The Rodgers and Hammerstein Organization. www.concordtheatricals.com
