The Sound of Music

The Sound of Music at London Palladium

Why see The Sound of Music?

The world's best-loved musical, THE SOUND OF MUSIC, returns to the West End with Andrew Lloyd Webber's dazzling new production at the London Palladium.

Based on the uplifting true story of the Von Trapp family and the good natured Maria, THE SOUND OF MUSIC was the last collaboration between Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, becoming one of the most successful Oscar-winning film musicals of all time.

This timeless family classic is directed by Jeremy Sams (Spend Spend Spend, Passion and West End and Broadway productions of Noises Off).  He is joined by renowned choreographer and dance expert Arlene Phillips (We Will Rock You, Starlight Express, Grease, Saturday Night Fever) and designer Robert Jones (On the Town, Noises Off and Heroes) to bring this vibrant new production to the London stage.

The score for THE SOUND OF MUSIC touches the hearts of all ages and brims over with some of the most memorable songs ever performed on the musical stage including My Favourite Things, Do-Re-Mi, Edelweiss, Climb Every Mountain, Sixteen Going on Seventeen, The Lonely Goatherd and of course the glorious title song The Sound of Music.
