The Sound of Music

The Sound of Music is the sound of my childhood. I cannot count the number of times we watched our VHS copy taped off the TV, or listened to the vinyl record of the soundtrack. Every song is embedded in my memory, like for so many other people. And Julie Andrews is the perfect Maria.

So how could a production of the stage musical hope to live up to these kinds of expectations?
