Happy 50th Anniversary
Sound of Music!
In my vast knowledge bank,
I did not know that this was
originally a Broadway Production
starring Mary Martin and Theodore
Bikel. It was a five time winner at
the 14th Annual Tony Awards.
The Broadway version was adapted
as a film musical in 1965 starring
Julie Andrews and Christopher
Plummer. It won five Academy
Awards. This is the one I remember
as a child and continue
to enjoy as an adult.
My favorite scenes are:
The thunderstorm and the song
"My Favorite Things."
The children running about town
and climbing trees in clothes she
made from their drapes.
When Maria and the Captain
realize that they are in love.
When Elsa leaves because the
Captain doesn't love her.
When the Nuns "fix" the
Nazi's car so it won't run.
As much as I have seen this,
I still think the Nazis are
going to capture them but
NO they get away and move
on.
~Keep on Dreaming AND
Climb Every Mountain~
