ABOUT THE  SHOW: 
The final  collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to 
become the  world’s most beloved musical.  When  a postulant proves too 
high-spirited for the religious life, she is dispatched  to serve as governess for 
the seven children of a widowed naval Captain.  Her growing  rapport with the 
youngsters, coupled  with her generosity of spirit, gradually captures the 
heart of the stern  Captain, and they marry.  Upon  returning from their 
honeymoon they discover that Austria has been invaded by  the Nazis, who demand 
the Captain’s immediate service in their navy.  The family’s narrow escape 
over the  mountains to Switzerland on the eve of  World War II provides one 
of the most thrilling and inspirational finales  ever presented in the 
theater.  The  motion picture version remains the most popular movie musical of 
all time.
