In Noosa Arts Theatre’s latest production, The Sound of Music, they’ve solved the problem of Maria.
Femke van der Kallen , like perfection, she is delightful in the role.
Russell Krause perfects the schnitzel as a lifelong military man and Austrian patriot whose grief-chilled heart is thawed by a perky novice nun.
Originally conceived for the London Palladium in 2006, director Ian Mackeller’s
production is a lavishly-appointed one.
The story is set in Austria on the eve of the Anschluss in 1938, the musical tells the story of Maria, who takes a job as governess to a large family while she decides whether to become a nun.
She falls in love with the children, as well as their widowed father, Cpt Von Trapp.
The Von Trapp children (William Graham, Ava Crozier, Ariah Mitchell, Jackson
Krause, Willow Percival and Gabriella Young) are characterful, and dynamically choreographed.
Angelique Turner stands out nicely as Liesl and is attractively partnered by Cordel Bellebte’s Rolf.
Lisa Waters is a warmly pragmatic Baroness Schraeder and Steven Mitchell is an appealingly shifty Max Detweiler.
With its unforgettable score, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The Sound Of Music touches the hearts of all ages and brims over with some of the most
memorable songs including My Favourite Things, Do-Re-Mi, The Lonely Goatherd, Sixteen Going on Seventeen and and of course the glorious title song The Sound of Music.
It’s the perfect family treat!
