Heartwarming family musical

WHEN you buy a ticket to a musical as iconic as The Sound of Music, you know exactly what you're going to get.

The award-winning musical seems to have found the perfect recipe for a family night out at the theatre with its catchy uplifting songs set to a near-cheesy script, with a side of romance and a sprinkle of adorable singing children.

For those who don't know the story, The Sound of Music is about a 19-year- old postulant named Maria, who becomes the governess to the Von Trapp family's seven children. Along the way, she falls in love with their widowed father, Captain Von Trapp, and they form a somewhat unconventional family while World War II rages in the background.
