The Sound of Music

The Sound of Music at Clowes Memorial Hall

Maria doesn't fit the rules she's handed. That's exactly why the von Trapp family needs her. You hear the first few notes of Do-Re-Mi, and you're somewhere else entirely. On January 15, 2027, at 7:00 PM, The Sound of Music brings that feeling to Clowes Memorial Hall in Indianapolis, not as a memory on a screen but as live theatre unfolding in front of you.

At the center is Maria, and the choices that change her life and the von Trapp family's. The story, drawn from The Trapp Family Singers by Maria Augusta Trapp, is about love, resilience and the power of music to bring people together. That's the heart of it. Richard Rodgers' music, Oscar Hammerstein II's lyrics, and a book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse give the tale its shape. With Sixteen Going on Seventeen and Edelweiss also in the score, this is a night built around songs people carry with them for years.

This is the North American touring production from Broadway in Indianapolis, directed by Jack O'Brien, and it plays Clowes Memorial Hall January 12-17, 2027. That makes it an easy invitation to extend. Bring a parent who has loved this musical for decades. Bring a child who is meeting the von Trapps for the first time. Some evenings are simply better shared. If you want that one, reserve your seats for The Sound of Music in Indianapolis.
