Sound Of Music Tickets
This is a brilliant musical that was inspired by the writings of Maria Von Trapp, The Story of The Trapp family singers. The music has been given by Richard Rogers, the lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein two and also a book by Russel Crouse and Howard Lindsay. It opened on Broadway in 1959 and after that has been copied and remade by different people. It also had a film adaptation that won an academy award in 1965 for its brilliant story.
The background about this famous play is that after seeing German movie based Von Trapp family and its sequel, a stage director by the name of Vincent J.Donehue became inspired and thought that the films story was a very good idea for a play. He thought about his friend Mary Martin and how it would be a perfect opportunity for him. Two Broadway producers liked the idea very much. One of those producers Richard Halliday was the husband of Mary Martin.
The first idea was that the play would not have songs but then they thought of including songs from the repertoire of the Trapp family singers. Eventually an idea of including a few original songs popped up and in the end the play was based on all of its own original songs. Some parts of the story had to be changed so that it fit the script nicely. When the play opened to the audience, the critics slammed it as being the low standard play and a very wrong step that Rodgers and Hammerstein should never have taken but the people widely appreciated the play and enjoyed it very much. The musical was also widely recognized and used in times of great distress such as the cold war.BBC broadcast it from radio to calm the nerves of many people that feared for their lives.
Since then songs from the musical have been featured in many current shows such as Friends, The OC and many more. Furthermore it has been used in current music and in advertisements to promote products. Due to these circumstances one can assume the popularity and recognition this play has generated that even after all these years it is still in the minds of so many people and is being used in so many mediums like television and music. It has also been used in films such as The Pacifier in 2005 which was a Walt Disney Film.
It was the last musical that was penned by Rodgers and Hammerstein The latter died of cancer nine months after the premiere on Broadway. But the beautiful musical that he had written will live forever in the minds of countless people. Numerous beautiful songs were featured in the musical such as The Sound Of Music, Do-Re-Mi, My Favorite Things and many more. These songs are still recognized and remembered by many people as being musical masterpieces. This play will go down in history as being one of the very best musicals that was ever penned.
