Singapore, 19 February 2014 - The world’s best-loved musical, The Sound of Music, is coming to The MasterCard Theatres at Marina Bay Sands in July 2014.

Auditions will be held next month for two male and four female roles, ascending ages from 4 to 12 are invited to register.



The Sound of Music tells the uplifting true story of Maria, the fun-loving governess who changes the lives of the widowed Captain Von Trapp and his seven children by re-introducing them to music, culminating in the family’s flight across the Austrian mountains as tensions rise prior to the outbreak of World War II. This iconic musical is sure to work its magic once again, for young and old alike.
