Austria, 1938. Free-spirited nun Maria is sent away from her abbey to become governess to the widowed Captain von Trapp’s seven children. She brings music and laughter back to his unfeeling household, but the future holds more joy and jeopardy than she ever dreamed possible.

​

The Sound of Music was Rodgers and Hammerstein’s last and perhaps most treasured musical and is now produced at Chichester for the first time. The glorious score is a box of delights, from Climb Ev’ry Mountain, My Favorite Things and Edelweiss to Do-Re-Mi and The Sound of Music itself.

​

This brand-new production of the original stage musical stars Gina Beck as Maria. Gina’s performance as Nellie Forbush in 2021’s South Pacific was acclaimed in London and on a UK tour.

​

There’s more... The Brasserie at the Chichester Festival Theatre is a lovely venue serving superb food. For an extra £30 you can book a 2-course pre-theatre dinner with tea/coffee to follow. (We will circulate their seasonal menu nearer the time). Or if you prefer, you can take your own picnic or make use of the theatre café and bar - plenty of outdoor seating, or inside seated areas if weather is not so good! We will aim to get to Chichester at around 5.30pm.
