The Sound of Music at Des Moines Playhouse

Maria, who proves too high-spirited for the religious life, is sent to serve as governess to the seven children of a widowed naval captain. Featuring some of the most delightfully infectious songs of all time, an endearing love story set in Austria at the dawn of WWII and one of the most thrilling and inspirational finales ever presented in the theatre, it's not surprising that The Sound of Music has been called the world's most beloved musical.
