Musical Blockbuster Returns to Eastbourne

 

The hills will come alive once again with The Sound of Music, as the much loved musical returns to Eastbourne in a brand new production at the Congress Theatre from Monday 13th – Saturday 18th July. This special stage adaptation, which coincides with the 50th anniversary of the film’s release, has already garnered glowing reviews during its current UK tour.

Playing the iconic role of Maria von Trapp is Danielle Hope, who captured the hearts of the country when she won BBC Television’s Over The Rainbow, and subsequently made her professional debut as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz at the London Palladium.

Joining the company as Captain von Trapp is much-loved stage and television star Steven Houghton. Well-known for his longstanding television roles in Coronation Street and London’s Burning, Olivier-Award nominated actor Steven has also taken on leading roles in Spend Spend Spend, Blood Brothers, White Christmas, Martin Guerre and Grease.

The unforgettable score from the world’s most successful musical features the ever-popular songs Edelweiss, Do-Re-Mi, Climb Ev’ry Mountain, So Long, Farewell, and of course, the title song, The Sound of Music.

Based on the true story of the Trapp Family Singers and Baroness Maria von Trapp’s 1949 autobiography, The Sound of Music recounts Maria and the Captain’s romance and their escape to freedom as Austria becomes part of the Third Reich at the beginning of World War Two.
