Aronoff Center-Procter & Gamble Hall
About this event
The Sound of Music is the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical, here as a touring production in the Broadway in Cincinnati season at the Aronoff Center's Procter & Gamble Hall. Three-time Tony winner Jack O'Brien directs. The story follows Maria and the von Trapp family, and the score includes "Do-Re-Mi" and "Edelweiss."
What to expect
A full-scale touring staging of the stage musical, running 2 hours 40 minutes with one intermission. The score includes "Do-Re-Mi," "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" and "Edelweiss." It is recommended for ages 7 and up. The production includes Nazi iconography and references, and it uses flashing lights.
Why go
This is a well-loved story, directed by Jack O'Brien (Hairspray), and it works for several generations sitting together. Procter & Gamble Hall is the Aronoff Center's largest theater. It seats about 2,700 and has a ceiling studded with 3,000 fiber optic lenses that makes a starlight effect. It is a good room for a big-cast musical in downtown Cincinnati.
