Show Synopsis
The final collaboration between Rodgers &
Hammerstein was destined to become the world's
most beloved musical. When a postulant proves
too high-spirited for the religious life, she is
dispatched to serve as governess for the seven
children of a widowed naval Captain. Her
growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled
with her generosity of spirit, gradually captures
the heart of the stern Captain, and they marry.
Upon returning from their honeymoon they
discover that Austria has been invaded by the
Nazis, who demand the Captain's immediate
service in their navy. The family's narrow escape
over the mountains to Switzerland on the eve of
World War II provides one of the most thrilling
and inspirational finales ever presented in the
theatre. The motion picture version remains the
most popular movie musical of all time. In this
adaptation for pre-high school students, the
content has been edited to better suit younger
attention spans, but all the elements that make
this show a classic are still in place. You and your
students will be enchanted by the timeless story
and the dazzling score, while at the same time
learning about theater and its production.
