## The hills will come alive once again with *The Sound of Music*, as the much loved musical returns to Eastbourne in a brand new production at the Congress Theatre from Monday 13 – Saturday July 18.

**This special stage adaptation,** which coincides with the 50th anniversary of the film’s release, is currently touring the UK to rave reviews.

Playing the iconic role of Maria von Trapp is **Danielle Hope**, who captured the hearts of the country when she won BBC Television’s *Over The Rainbow* and made her professional debut as Dorothy in *The Wizard of Oz* at the London Palladium.

Joining the company as Captain von Trapp is stage and television star **Steven Houghton**. Well-known for his longstanding television roles in *Coronation Street* and *London’s Burning*, Olivier-Award nominated actor Steven has taken on leading roles in *Spend Spend Spend*, *Blood Brothers*, *White Christmas*, *Martin Guerre* and *Grease*.

The unforgettable score from the world’s most successful musical features the ever-popular songs *Edelweiss, Do-Re-Mi, Climb Ev’ry Mountain, So Long, Farewell*, and of course, title song, *The Sound of Music.*

Based on the true story of the Trapp Family Singers and Baroness Maria von Trapp’s 1949 autobiography, *The Sound of Music* recounts Maria and the Captain’s romance and their escape to freedom as Austria becomes part of the Third Reich at the beginning of WWII.
