Founded by the legendary team of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II and headquartered in New York City, The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization owns the rights to the world's most popular stage and film musicals, including OKLAHOMA!, CINDERELLA, CAROUSEL, SOUTH PACIFIC, THE KING AND I and THE SOUND OF MUSIC.
I’m doing this musical currently as Maria and Mother Abbess (double casting) and the choreography for this number is almost the exact same as the movie.
Growing up with this movie means going from having a crush on Nicholas Hammond (Friedrich) as a kid to having a crush on Christopher Plummer (The Captain) as an adult. 😅
Great acting by both: as Christopher Plummer famously disliked Julie Andrews from the start. He also loudly complained that filming the movie was "like being trapped in a Hallmark greetings card". 😂
I remember watching this when my local city did it. My favourite theatre teacher was playing the main character (the woman, I forgot her name) But she did an amazing job and I didn't even recognise her! I love this Musical because of the role she played in it!
