The Sound of Music
The Sound of Music
The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become one of the world’s most beloved musicals. Featuring cherished songs including “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” “My Favorite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,” “Sixteen Going on Seventeen,” and the title number, The Sound of Music has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide for generations.
The inspirational story, based on the memoir of Maria Augusta Trapp, follows an ebullient postulate who becomes governess to the seven children of the stern Captain von Trapp. Through music, kindness, and determination, Maria brings joy and warmth back into the household. As the forces of Nazism begin to take hold of Austria, Maria and the entire von Trapp family must make a life-changing moral decision.
The Sound of Music earned five Tony Awards and five Academy Awards and remains one of the most celebrated musicals of all time. The Sound of Music is presented by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization.

Les Misérables
Les Misérables
Distinguished as one of the world’s longest running musicals, this epic and uplifting story has become one of the most celebrated musicals in theatrical history. Les Misérables has impacted performers and audience members around the world for over 45 years. Seen by over 150 million people worldwide in 57 countries, 452 cities and 22 languages, Les Misérables is undisputedly still one of the world’s most popular musicals.
Set against the backdrop of 19th century France, Jean Valjean is released after 19 years of unjust imprisonment to find nothing in store for him but mistrust and mistreatment. He breaks his parole in hopes of starting a new life, initiating a lifelong struggle for redemption as he is relentlessly pursued by police inspector Javert, who refuses to believe that Valjean can change his ways.
A winner of 8 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Original Score and Best Book, Les Misérables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, and sacrifice – a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit.
