You may ask yourself—is seeing a touring stage production of the globally and generationally ubiquitous 1959 musical THE SOUND OF MUSIC still worth experiencing live on stage in 2026? While the stage musical in its current touring form certainly doesn't offer anything revolutionary or new to the show's now timeless canon, this latest iteration is, overall, a genuinely enjoyable, unabashedly earnest, and pleasantly nostalgic revival of a classic, featuring everything that made the show so gosh darn lovable to our parents and their parents before them. Sticking to the familiar, the show remains a comfortably cozy revival that will satisfy those expecting more of the same. The tour continues at Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa through June 14, 2026.
