The Sound of Music

The Sound of Music at Clowes Memorial Hall

A governess arrives to teach seven children, and music begins changing the rhythm of an entire household. Do-Re-Mi. Sixteen Going on Seventeen. Edelweiss. You may already be humming one. On January 17, 2027, at Clowes Memorial Hall in Indianapolis, those melodies leave the memory and step into a live theatre, where The Sound of Music is meant to be felt in the room.

This is the North American touring production from Broadway in Indianapolis, directed by Jack O'Brien, and it plays Clowes January 12–17. The score comes from Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, with a book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse. The story draws on The Trapp Family Singers by Maria Augusta Trapp. Onstage, the heart of it is Maria and the von Trapp family, a story of love, resilience and the way music can bring people together. Watching that unfold live is different from pressing play at home. You see the story take shape in front of you, together with everyone around you.

That makes it a rare kind of night out. Bring a parent who has loved this musical for decades. Bring a child who knows only the famous tunes. Bring a friend who simply wants an evening of classic storytelling. A show like this gives different generations something to share, and it gives you a memory that outlasts the final bow. Plan your Sunday evening now, and secure your seats for The Sound of Music at Clowes Memorial Hall.
