The Sound tells a moving story of family, courage, and hope, exploring the importance of preserving history and never forgetting the past. The musical follows an aging Holocaust survivor as he recounts his harrowing escape from Nazi-occupied Denmark to Sweden during World War II to a young American woman. With the help of a magical entity, he revisits the perilous journey his family undertook to evade Nazi capture during the fall of 1943. This poignant narrative highlights the heroic efforts of those who risked their lives to rescue Danish Jews and the indomitable spirit of those who survived.

Recommended for ages 9 and up, The Sound offers a compelling and age-appropriate introduction to the history and lessons of the Holocaust through music and storytelling.
