Michael Xavier (Captain von Trapp) & Charlotte Wakefield (Maria)
The Sound of Music (at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre) opened last night and has so far been an enormous hit with the critics!
Charles Spencer (The Telegraph): “Throughout, this wonderfully fresh and deeply felt production proves that there is much more to The Sound of Music than raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens.” *****
Henry Hitchings (The Evening Standard): “With its perennial cult status and panoply of memorable songs, it looks a sure-fire hit.” ****
Michael Billington (The Guardian): “If Kavanaugh’s production works, it is because it respects the story’s integrity and, in its use of every available inch of the auditorium, ensures the aisles are alive with the sound of music.” ***
Mark Shenon (The Stage): “Rachel Kavanaugh’s production of this 1959 warhorse of a musical… fortunately plays it straight and with utter sincerity.” unknown rating.
The show runs until September 7th. Click here for tickets.
