This is a brilliant musical that was inspired by the writings of Maria Von Trapp, The Story of The Trapp family singers. The music has been given by Richard Rogers, the lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein two and also a book by Russel Crouse and Howard Lindsay. It opened on Broadway in 1959 and after that has been copied and remade by different people. It also had a film adaptation that won an academy award in 1965 for its brilliant story.
The background about this famous play is that after seeing German movie based Von Trapp family and its sequel, a stage director by the name of Vincent J.Donehue became inspired and thought that the films story was a very good idea for a play. He thought about his friend Mary Martin and how it would be a perfect opportunity for him. Two Broadway producers liked the idea very much. One of those producers Richard Halliday was the husband of Mary Martin.
The first idea was that the play would not have songs but then they thought of including songs from the repertoire of the Trapp family singers. Eventually an idea of including a few original songs popped up and in the end the play was based on all of its own original songs. Some parts of the story had to be changed so that it fit the script nicely. When the play opened to the audience, the critics slammed it as being the low standard play and a very wrong step that Rodgers and Hammerstein should never have taken but the people widely appreciated the play and enjoyed it very much. The musical was also widely recognized and used in times of great distress such as the cold war.BBC broadcast it from radio to calm the nerves of many people that feared for their lives.
