(Cape May Court House) Students in grades 5 through 8 will perform Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “The Sound of Music” on Wednesday, May 10, 2017 at 7 p.m. at Bishop McHugh Regional Catholic School, 2221 Rt. 9 North, Cape May Court House, N.J. Tickets are $10 per adult and $5 per school age child.
Based on actual events, “The Sound of Music” tells the story of Maria who takes a job as a governess while she decides whether to be a nun. She falls in love with the children, and eventually their widowed father. The family flees to Austria in a climactic scene, escaping from Nazi persecution. The original Broadway production opened in 1959 starring Mary Martin as Maria. In 1965, 20th Century Fox released the film version starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. The students will be performing the G2K version, which is uniquely adapted for youth performers.
Tickets are available at the door on the evening of the performance. For questions, contact the school at (609) 624-1900.
