SRT's Sound of Music - Superb!!!

When a director asks oneself, "How do I direct a play meant for a large stage, with a large cast while dealing with a small stage meant for a small cast and still present as pure a product as possible?" They should talk with Scott Viets, charge of direction and choreography for Sierra Repertory Theater's  'The Sound of Music.'

Faced with the diminutive challenges of the Fallon House in Columbia, the direction, designers, lighting, and cast produced, without fail, one of the best renditions of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Sound of Music I have seen in years.

The Sound of Music comes to the Fallon House

The foothills will come alive with The Sound of Music when the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical returns July 11 through August 31 at Sierra Repertory Theatre’s historic Fallon House Theatre in Columbia.

The delightful musical – based on the true story of the von Trapp family in Austria – has been captivating audiences for more than half a century, drawing huge crowds when it first hit Broadway and appearing again six years later as a much-beloved film.

After 55 years, the show’s appeal is still universal, Sierra Rep’s Artistic Director Scott Viets said.

“There’s something special about The Sound of Music,” said Scott Viets, Sierra Rep’s artistic director, who directs the show. “Seven children singing and dancing, a love story, nuns, villains, an exotic setting – Austria in the 1930s – and that incredible musical score.”
