The Sound of Music is a critically acclaimed and much loved musical that has been around for decades.  The last musical to be produced by Rodgers and Hammerstein, the Sound of Music opened on Broadway in 1959 and became a smash-hit film starring Julie Andrews in 1965.  In 2008, a revival production was launched by Andrew Lloyd Webber in London, England. That same production was brought to Toronto later that year, and is now playing an open ended run at the Princess of Wales Theatre. 

In a Canadian first, the title role of Maria for the Toronto run was chosen by the public via a television show that was Broadcast on the CBC titled How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria? The winner, Elicia MacKenzie is currently playing the title role and is receiving rave reviews.  The runner-up  and fellow TV Maria Janna Polzin was cast as an "alternate", playing the role twice a week for the Wednesday evenings and Saturday matinees. 

When the Sound of Music opened in Toronto on October 3rd, 2008 it received rave reviews.  It is one of those rare musical gems that appeals to all ages and is also age appropriate, something that the whole family can really enjoy together.  The Star proclaimed "This is the show we all ought to, need to, have to see right now. Don't miss it." 

Still going strong into 2009, Mirvish productions is now offering up an excellent package deal for people wanting a chance to see this production.  Included in the deal is a night's accomodation at a four star Toronto hotel, as well as a three course meal and a top-price ticket to the show.  Prices for this package start at just $168 plus hotel taxes.  The hotels that are partaking in the package are the Sheraton Centre Toronto and the Westin Harbour Castle.  Guests will have their three course meal in the hotel's restaurant and can then take in the show.
