The Sound Of Music

August 22, 2023

Coach pick up, time to spend in Chichester, evening performance and return coach.

Austria, 1938. Free-spirited nun Maria is sent away from her abbey to become governess to the widowed Captain von Trapp’s seven children. She brings music and laughter back to his unfeeling household, but the future holds more joy and jeopardy than she ever dreamed possible.

The Sound of Music was Rodgers and Hammerstein’s last and perhaps most treasured musical and is now produced at Chichester for the first time. The glorious score is a box of delights, from Climb Ev’ry Mountain, My Favorite Things and Edelweiss to Do-Re-Mi and The Sound of Music itself.

This brand-new production of the original stage musical is directed by Adam Penford, Artistic Director of Nottingham Playhouse, where his productions include Piaf and The Madness of George III; and designed by Robert Jones (Murder on the Orient Express, The Unfriend, Oklahoma!).

Gina Beck, whose performance as the original Nellie Forbush in 2021’s South Pacific was also acclaimed in London and on a UK tour, returns to play Maria.

With a few hours of free time before the show starts you have the opportunity to enjoy the pedestrianised shopping streets of Chichester, its Cathedral or just sit down and relax with a drink and a bite to eat. It always makes for a very enjoyable trip.

For the past 10 years our annual Summer visit to Chichester has sold out. On the last three occasions we have taken two coaches! Whilst, with it being The Sound of Music, I imagine we will take two coaches, there is no guarantee and so to be sure of your place, do book early to avoid missing out.
