“The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to
become the world’s most beloved musical. When a postulant proves too
high-spirited for the religious life, she is dispatched to serve as governess
for the seven children of a widowed naval Captain. Her growing rapport
with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of spirit, gradually
captures the heart of the stern Captain, and they marry. Upon returning
from their honeymoon they discover that Austria has been invaded by
the Nazis, who demand the Captain’s immediate service in their navy.
The family’s narrow escape over the mountains to Switzerland on the
eve of World War II provides one of the most thrilling and inspirational
finales ever presented in the theatre.” (from the R & H website).
