The world's best-loved musical, The Sound of Music is returning to Nelson!
The Nelson Youth Theatre Company's production tells the uplifting true story of the Von Trapp family's flight across the mountains and works its magic, for young and old alike.
With its unforgettable score, Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music touches the hearts of all ages and brims over with some of the most memorable songs ever performed on stage, including Edelweiss, My Favourite Things, Do-Re-Mi, Climb Ev'ry Mountain, So Long Farewell, and of course, The Sound of Music. It's the perfect family treat and will enchant the young and the young at heart!
We have picked the winner of the favourite song competition. You can still win tickets if you buy a Schnitzel or any other meat product at New World Nelson. Also, everybody who buys a ticket to the show goes into the draw to win a fabulous pair of hiking boots so you can climb every mountain!
The time has come
"The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: of shoes and ships and sealing wax; of cabbages and kings; and why the sea is boiling hot; and whether pigs have wings."
There is never enough time to do all that we want to do, but you need to make the time on Friday 29th July at 7.30pm to come to Off the Cuff: It’s Time, Nelson’s monthly improv show at the Theatre Royal.
We may not talk about shoes and ships and sealing wax or even flying pigs, but we’re sure to talk about time flying, ticking time bombs, running late, having the time of your life, wasted time, get a bit cuckoo over a cuckoo clock or simply do the Time Warp again!
This month we also have special guest Jen O’Sullivan improviser extraordinaire from Wellington giving her time to join us.
Off the Cuff: It’s Time ... Friday 29 July 7.30pm at the Theatre Royal. Bookings are available through Ticket Direct or from the Theatre Royal.
