Have you ever truly forgotten that glorious moment when Captain Von Trapp and Maria’s finally kiss? Re-live it and more when Sing-A-Long-A Sound of Music returns to Australia!
Lovers of The Sound of Music (and what’s not to love?) join in an unforgettable interactive experience and tribute to the film that continues to have millions of hearts swelling.
Admit it, you know the words. Presented in full-screen technicolour with song lyrics accompanying each song, Sing-A-Long –A Sound of Music is an audience participation event where the surprise host leads a vocal warm-up, gives a guide to the use of the interactive fun pack and accompanying actions and (with a little help from the audience) judges the Costume Parade - a highlight of the night that separates the die-hards from the dabblers!
And the costume turn out is truly inspiring! Sing-a-Long-A Sound of Music lovers dress up as anything and everything represented in the film. Nuns, the Alps (covered in shaving cream), “Ray” a drop of golden sun, brown paper packages tied up with string, goats (with or without lonely goatherds).
Ten years on, the aisles continue to come alive with the sound of music as the lyrics to Climb Every Mountain; Do-Re-Mi and I am Sixteen appear on the big screen. And as Maria merrily points out, “When you know the notes to sing, you can sing most anything!”
An irresistible force takes over, as delirious fans cheer on Julie Andrews, wolf-whistle Christopher Plummer, hiss the Baroness and boo the Nazis - there is just something inexplicable about the The Sound of Music!
So frock up for the ultimate musical affirmation; a celebration of nature, spirituality, love, family, patriotism, and goodness, combined with perfectly pitched songs, and the screen presence of feisty feminist, Julie Andrews.
Round up your favourite friends, take your vows, and tear down the curtains as you the audience take over as the star of the show. Almost anything can happen!
