THE SOUND OF MUSIC
Regal Theatre, 7-17 October

THE HILLS ARE ALIVE!

The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Western Australia will present the world's most loved musical, The Sound of Music at the Regal Theatre from October 7 to 17 with tickets going on sale to the general public from February 1.

The famous musical will be the seventh production in the Society’s history of annual musical theatre presentations at the Subiaco venue. It will be directed by acclaimed musical theatre director and designer, John Senczuk whose production of Les Misérables for MS WA last year broke box office records.

Based on the uplifting true story of the Von Trapp family, The Sound of Music marked the final collaboration of the legendary song-writing duo, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. A huge success from its stage debut in 1957 (winning six Tony Awards), The Sound of Music was made into a film in 1965 (winning five Oscars) becoming one of the most successful and popular film musicals ever.

Set in Austria in the lead up to the Second World War, the musical’s timeless message of triumph over adversity and its memorable score (including My Favourite Things, Do-Re-Mi, Edelweiss, Climb Every Mountain, Sixteen Going on Seventeen, The Lonely Goatherd and the glorious title song, The Sound of Music) continue to speak to people of all ages.

the cynic in me says- the publisher realised they will still make a decent amount of money here, and stuff considering whether the same show should be repeated so close...? Possible solution is all co's having a password-secure spot on this server where they can log in and tell each other what they are considering so that potential clashes can be discussed and made to work through a collaborative approach or changes to shows be made to have no clash? You could also consider combining resources on set building and costumes and similar if considering the same show in the same year to save money on these expensive elements, or even to double your capacity to make really nice stuff... Surely all the 'major' community theatres would be able to make this work? Isn't this idea of community and working together the purpose of this organisation ITA? Nev It's the simple things stupid...
