Rodgers and Hammerstein OrgMary Martin, Lauri Peters and the rest of the child cast of the original 1959 stage show.
"The play starts with Maria in a tree - although for this performance it was a step-ladder. So the actress Mary Martin enters, climbs a couple of steps and sings the title song - The Sound of Music. It was quiet and moving and I think everyone concerned knew they had a success." Peters says she's never seen the film but she knows the famous swooping helicopter shot it begins with."It's beautiful of course but in the play you feel you're dipping into the privacy of someone's heart - it's powerful and spiritual. The film is different."
"That's the show in a nutshell and it connects with the idea of moral agency. If your nation is taken over by bad people who impose evil policies, do you just participate in that or do you stand up against them?"And they wrote about the transformational power of love. Neither Maria nor Captain von Trapp is the same person at the end of the play. So for people who think the story is lightweight, it just isn't.
"Audiences know there'll be references to the Nazis in the show but they don't expect the politics to be central. But for instance Jack reinstated No Way To Stop It, a powerful song about standing up to people in power who are doing bad things."Or take Do-Re-Mi, which in the film is a jolly number where the kids dance and sing on a gorgeous Alpine meadow.
I'm absolutely fucking sick of this 'SPOKEN WORD' shit that the BBC seems to think is slick. It all crap poetry, it doesn't do anything for me.
Yuk. So soppy and sugary. Russell Plummer called it The Sound Of Mucus
Oh I'm sure the is an SJW somewhere in the bowls of the BBC with an article penned telling us how the Sound of Music is racist, sexist, homophobic....blah, blah, blah. I'm guessing there are too many musical fans among the BBC millennial staffers to allow it to be published.
Far too white.
You mean the one about how even a conservative war hero was forced to flee his homeland when it was taken over by nationalist louts?
