Sound of Music, Coast Kids at Star Theatre

Join us November 18-20, 2011 for an afternoon or evening of music and fun as Coast Kids Theatre brings Rodgers & Hammerstein's beloved musical, The Sound of Music to the Star Theatre in Oceanside!

 Set in World War II Austria as the Nazis are taking over, The Sound of Music tells the true story of the von Trapp family who escape over the Alps to freedom. The score is filled with unforgettable songs like, "The Sound of Music," "Edelweiss," "My Favorite Things, " " Climb Every Mountain" and "Do-Re-Mi." Audiences of all ages will enjoy this musical favorite.

 Coast Kids Theatre will be fielding two casts, one composed of youth (red cast) and the second composed of adults and youth (blue cast). For the first time a parent and child have been cast in the same role! Penny Steinman is playing the Mother Abbess in the Blue Cast, while her daughter Tzytle has the role in the Red Cast. These tow talented singers are just one of the highlights of the show!
