(April 27, 2023) — Haddam Killingworth High School is proud to present one of the most beloved musicals of all time: The Sound of Music. An exuberant young governess in 1938 Austria brings music and joy back to a broken family, only to face danger and intrigue as the Nazis gain power. The Sound of Music features a trove of cherished songs by Rodgers and Hammerstein, including “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” “My Favorite Things,” “Do Re Mi,” “Sixteen Going on Seventeen,” and the title number, this classic tale won the hearts of audiences worldwide.
The original 1959 Broadway production earned five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and the equally acclaimed 1965 film musical starring Julie Andrews won
five Academy Awards, including Best Picture. The Sound of Music will be presented at the HKHS auditorium on Friday May 5, and Saturday May 6, 2023, at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $15 for general admission and are now on sale.
For more information, and to purchase tickets, please see a cast or crew member or call 860-345-8541 to reserve your ticket and pay at the door. There is a
