Boyle Musical Society is delighted to announce that this year’s show will be the popular and enchanting favourite, ‘The Sound of Music’.
With a showstopping score and a powerful story, ‘The Sound of Music’ became an instant classic following its 1959 Broadway premiere and of course the 1965 film with Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer.
Audiences will be spirited away by the magic of this truly unforgettable musical, which will be staged in Boyle from November 20th to 23rd.
Rehearsals will begin on Monday, September 2nd in St. Joseph’s Hall, Boyle. Everybody is welcome to join and we will be holding auditions beforehand for the younger children’s parts.
Unfortunately, we are unable to include anyone in Junior or Leaving cert. years.
Look out here and in the local media for more details and updates over the summer.
This is another show that will require a large choral cast, so if you are interested in choral singing along with performance and drama, this just might be the show for you.
This will be the first time that ‘The Sound of Music’ has been staged in Boyle since the memorable Scoil Críost an Rí production back in 1990.
‘The Sound of Music’ has music composed by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, and a book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse. It is based on the 1949 memoir of Maria von Trapp,
Songs from the show include ‘Edelweiss’, ‘My Favourite Things’, ‘Climb Every Mountain’, ‘Sixteen Going on Seventeen’, ‘So Long – Farewell’, ‘The Lonely Goatherd’ and of course ‘The Sound of Music’.
