The story of the most popular movie musical of all time is live on Cornerstone’s stage! This final collaboration between Rodgers and Hammerstein follows the story of a high-spirited postulate who 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. 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. Join us as we present the world’s most beloved musical!
