The Sound of Music—performed with music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, as suggested by The Trapp Family Singers by Maria Augusta Trapp—was presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization.
