The Sound of Music

This acclaimed production of the legendary Rogers and Hammerstein musical premiered in 2006 at the home of West End musical theatre, the London Palladium, where it celebrated a record-breaking 954 performances seen by well of 2 million people.
The Australian production will be led by Amy Lehpamer (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Once, The Rocky Horrow Show) as Maria Rainer and Cameron Daddo (Legally Blonde) as Captain Georg von Trapp. Starring alongside Marina Prior, Lorraine Bayly and Jacqueline Dark.
Inspired by the lives of the actual von Trapp family, The Sound of Music tells the uplifting story of Maria, a fun-loving governess who changes the lives of the widowed Captain von Trapp and his seven children by re-introducing them to music, culminating in the family’s escape from the Nazis across the mountains from Austria. It features an unforgettable score that includes some of the most famous songs ever performed on stage, including My Favourite Things, Edelweiss, Do-Re-Mi, Sixteen Going On Seventeen, The Lonely Goatheard, Climb Ev’ry Mountain and the title song, The Sound of Music.
Run Time: Approximately 2 hours & 35 Minutes (including one interval)

Frequently Asked Questions
View all FAQsWhat time do I need to arrive before a show?
We recommend that you arrive at least 15-30 minutes before the performance starts – or earlier if you would like to enjoy a drink in one of the theatre’s licensed bars.
What if I'm late and the performance has started?
Live theatre has a ‘lock-out’ policy; a period after the curtain goes up when late-comers are not permitted to enter the auditorium. Lock-out periods are set by the production and vary from show to show. Patrons arriving late will be admitted when there’s a suitable break in the performance.
