The Sound of Music

"The hills are alive with the sound of music!!!" I LOVE this musical!!!!! The best part is that for my birthday I will be seeing this at the Overture Center in Madison!!! Yay!!!! Okay, so for those of you who (must be crazy) haven't seen the musical I will give you sneak peak sorta thing. The main character Maria (who is played by Julie Andrews in the movie) is a nun. But she is asked to be the nanny for the Von Trapp kids whose dad was in the navy. So a lot of other stuff happens and because it takes place during the WW2 times the Nazis want Captain Von Trapp to join the German Navy. And he says no and they have to run away. Now my favorite part of writing these posts is always going and looking up a bunch of interesting facts about the musical. So here are some cool facts. The first fact is that The Sound of Music is actually a true story. Bizarre isn't it? Also in the movie version you know when Julie Andrews hits that crazy high note at the end of Do, Re, Mi? Well she wasn't actually supposed to go that high. She volunteered to go up another octave just because she could. And also when the movie was filmed the real Maria Von Trapp came in. The director didn't like her because he thought she was "too bossy". Well weren't those some interesting facts? Sorta. Whatever. It would be fantabulous if you guys kept following along with what I post. Thanks for reading!
