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.
