Maine State Music Theater reopens Pickard Theater for the first time in two years with a divinely cast production of “The Sound of Music” – music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, with the book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse.
What happens when one of the most beloved musicals in the canon comes to the stage at the very point in time when history and a harsh pandemic seem to intersect with an iconic story? Add to this serendipitous set of circumstances an assembly of creatives, cast, and crew that are nothing short of brilliant, and the result is a little like a theatrical miracle that will fill your heart with joy and hope and music.
On June 9, 2022, MSMT opened its first fully programmed Revival Season at its longtime home in the Pickard theater on Bowdoin College campus with a breathtaking production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s THE SOUND OF MUSIC. This last collaboration between these two giants of musical theatre is well known and loved, and though sixty years have passed since its creation, it is a story that continues to speak to our time - today more than ever.
