The Sound of Music Next Week!

Posted on by Catherine

The YMCA of the North Shore & Manchester-Essex Middle School blooms and grows with “The Sound of Music – youth edition” in May 2023. Heidi Dallin shares the lovely performance flyer for next week’s shows May 5, 6, and 7. Tickets can be purchased here.

The Sound of Music opened on Broadway in 1959–an instant smash hit and perennial cultural favorite ever since. It’s special when there’s any production on Cape Ann: Thanks to Russel Crouse, much of the stage musical was written during stints in their Annisquam neighborhood in Gloucester.
