The Sound of Music (s-NBC)
December 5, 8 ET/PT | 3-Hour Special
A live broadcast of The Sound of Music, based on the original Broadway
musical, takes place in pre-World War II Austria and profiles the romantic
true story of Maria von Trapp, an aspiring nun who leaves the Abbey to
become governess for the widower Captain von Trapp’s seven children.
Maria finds herself falling in love with her employer and questioning her
religious calling. The Broadway musical premiered in 1959, where it broke
box-office records and won the Tony Award® for Best Musical. Today it is
an evergreen classic – as popular in opera houses and outdoor amphitheaters as it is in high school auditoriums. The Sound of Music features
a libretto by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, and score by Richard
Rodgers (music) and Oscar Hammerstein II (lyrics).
