The Sound of Music

…Anyone who has seen numerous screen and stage creations of the title—for musical theatre aficionados, that’s pretty much everyone—will be taken by Mak’s fresh approach, her Broadway-ready thirty-plus member cast, magical vocals and stunning visuals.

…Amber Mak’s warm, very human production of one of the most-produced musicals of all time, is filled with eye-popping spectacle and childlike wonder. Every single character is a real person and exudes a realism and honesty not always found in other productions of this show.

…If, like me, you see the great Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals as national treasures to be loved by young and old and protected for generations to come, the beautiful, deeply emotional new holiday production of the iconic title “The Sound of Music” at the Paramount Theatre in Aurora will fill you with a warm glow.
