The hills are alive… with the Sound of Music! Broadway International Group and Broadway Asia have brought the Global Tour of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music to Hong Kong, with performances running from 16 April to 9 June 2024.
This renowned production had already completed successful multi-week engagements in Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, India, and will soon finish 20 weeks in China. This timeless musical is premiering at the Grand Theatre of the Xiqu Centre, West Kowloon Cultural District, celebrating the 65th anniversary of this world-beloved classic Broadway musical.
Broadway International Group and CAEG will co-present this production by an all-Broadway creative team, led by three-time Tony Award Winner Jack O’Brien, fusing fresh new ideas within the original framework that earned long-standing acclaim for both the Broadway musical and the Hollywood film.
This highly acclaimed original production tells the uplifting true story of Maria, the fun-loving governess who changed the lives of the widowed Captain Von Trapp and his seven children by reintroducing them to music, culminating in the family’s flight across the Austrian mountains as tensions rise prior to the outbreak of World War II.
Woven in this tale of love, compassion, hope and survival are classic songs that have enchanted generations of theatre and music lovers. Hong Kong audiences will hear musical favourites live on stage, including Do-Re-Mi, Climb Ev’ry Mountain, Edelweiss, My Favourite Things, and the beloved title song, The Sound of Music.
The Sound of Music will be the inaugural Broadway musical to perform at the Grand Theatre of the Xiqu Centre, Hong Kong’s latest landmark for world-class cultural occasions. The international tour is led by Natalie Duncan as Maria Rainer, Corey Greenan as Captain Von Trapp, and Lauren Kidwell as Mother Abbess. It will be performed in English with Chinese subtitles. Tickets range from $588 to $1,188 – with both Schools and Group Offers available.
