'Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow, Bloom and grow forever'
Often dismissed as kitsch sentimentalism, Rodgers and Hammerstein's
The Sound of Music has proven an enduringly popular and
surprisingly influential cultural icon, both within the field of
musical theatre and the wider world. The Broadway production won
five Tony Awards, the London production became the longest-running
West End musical, and the movie version was the highest-grossing
film of all time. This book examines how the musical heralded the
end of an era on Broadway; its reinvention of history and
biography; how the film has influenced future stage productions;
the ways in which it put child performers centre stage; and how,
nearly 60 years after its stage debut, the musical still has a
direct impact on the modern world, from the United States to the
Middle East. In this series of short essays, Julian Woolford
re-examines the musical from seven different perspectives,
revealing the ways in which it continues to impact the 21st
century.
