West Seattle High School presents Rogers & Hammerstein’s timeless classic, The Sound of Music, on April 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, and 10, with performances beginning at 7 pm.

The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world’s most beloved musical. Featuring a trove of cherished songs, including “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” “My Favorite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,” “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” and the title number, The Sound of Music won the hearts of audiences worldwide, earning five Tony Awards and five Oscars. The inspirational story, based on the memoir of Maria Augusta Trapp, follows an ebullient postulate who serves as governess to the seven children of the imperious Captain von Trapp, bringing music and joy to the household. But as the forces of Nazism take hold of Austria, Maria and the entire von Trapp family must make a moral decision. (Concord Theatricals)

The production is directed by Joe Lambright, assisted by Allison Irvine, with vocal direction by Taylor Fritts and an all-student orchestra under the direction of Ethan Thomas. Tickets are $15 and are available at https://westsidedramatickets.ludus.com/index.php.
