Come Join Me At THE SOUND OF MUSIC, Performing At MasterCard Theatres, Marina Bay Sands

Hi Huneybees,

The hills are alive,

With the sound of music

With songs they have sung

For a thousand years

I grew up watching Julie Andrews in THE SOUND OF MUSIC. Her opening performance right on top of the mountain was my theme song for the longest period and when back in the school band, this was one of my favourite song to play on the flute.

And now, this amazing 1959 Broadway production is here on our shores! I was at the media preview of it and I left the MasterCard Theatres at Marina Bay Sands humming and singing those songs on repeat!

The 1959 production of THE SOUND OF MUSIC won 6 Tony Awards, including Best Musical and was Rogers and Hammerstein's biggest success and with the 1965 movie starring Julie Andrews as Maria won 5 Oscars, including Best Picture and remains on of the most popular movies of all times!

Other than the opening title song - The Sound Of Music, you can also expect to hear the unforgettable songs - Do-Re-Mi, My Favourite Things, Climb Ev'ry Mountain, Edelweiss, Going on Seventeen, etc. Bethany Dickson plays as Maria Rainer, together with Andre Schwartz as Captain Von Trapp and Janelle Visagie as Mother Abbess.

6 out of 7 of the von Trapp children are played by 18  of Singapore's young actors and actresses. Ranging from the age of  6 to 13, they will perform in rotation as Gretl, Frederich, Kurt, Maria, Brigitta and Louisa. I've always loved Gretl's character and that afternoon I can't bear to keep saying Jaime Chew (who played as Gretl) was so adorable on stage, especially with those braids of hers!

THE SOUND OF MUSIC will be performing from 11 July -  10 August 2014 at the MasterCard Theatre, Marina Bay Sands.
