The Suffolk comes alive with its second annual “The Sound of Music Sing-a-Long.” On Friday, July 25, at 8 p.m., the theater will present the fan-favorite Julie Andrews classic with a brand-new spin that brings interactive fun and nostalgic joy to the timeless tunes. Complete with a costume contest for cash prizes and themed drink specials, audiences can celebrate the film and serenade the night away to every iconic melody from “Do-Re-Mi” to “My Favorite Things!”
A 1965 classic by Rodgers and Hammerstein, the film version of “The Sound of Music” was directed by Robert Wise and it tells the uplifting story of Maria (Julie Andrews), a spirited young postulant at a convent who becomes a governess for the seven children of Captain von Trapp (Christopher Plummer), a widowed naval officer.
Set against the backdrop of pre-World War II Austria, the musical movie follows Maria as she brings music, love and joy into the von Trapp household, ultimately helping the family rediscover their happiness and unity. However, their peaceful existence is threatened by the rise of the Nazi regime, leading to a dramatic escape as the von Trapps flee Austria to find freedom and pursue their dreams through the power of music and love.
Tickets are $15 at thesuffolk.org. The Suffolk is at 118 East Main Street in Riverhead.
