An Introduction to The Sound of Music by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II
The Sound of Music movie was originally based on the book by Maria Von Trapp called "The story of the Trapp family singers" and as such is based on a true story. It was first done on Broadway in 1959 and then made into a movie in 1965. It is the story of a young girl who leaves a convent in Austria to au pair a family of seven children. Although apparently the extreme opposite of the children's father, they fall in love and this is their story and the story of his children.
