POTATO ON THE GO (Theater):
When
Resorts World Manila claimed that The Sound of Music is a world class
theater production, I asked myself how can they exactly qualify that.
Well, after seeing the musical at its premiere, I was easily convinced
why it is called as such.
A musical by Richard Rodgers with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, The Sound of Music is the story of a young postulant, Maria Rainer, who is appointed governess of the seven children of widower Captain Georg von Trapp. She teaches them the rudiments of music and allows them to discover a talent for singing they never once thought they possessed. In the process, the Captain's cold and stern heart turns soft towards his children, while the stiff, professional relationship he once had with Maria gives way unexpectedly to love. Soon, they find themselves threatened by uncertainties of wartime as they struggle to build a new life together.
So, why is The Sound of Music world class?
