The Playhouse Company - Final countdown to The Sound of Music2016-10-18 It is back, bigger and better! Brought to you by the Playhouse, the popular and well-loved Sound of Music is once again going to have you dancing, singing and at the same time sobbing at the story line.
To the thrill of many, the production returns to the Playhouse this November for a run of more than a month till the end of December 2016. The Sound of Music taps into our readiness to embrace victory against the odds. The show tells the tale of the Von Trapp family and their journey of survival amidst the Second World War in Austria. A tomboy becomes a governess in the Von Trapp home with its seven children. Craig Urbani plays Captain von Trapp, the naval captain, who also employs Maria Rainer to look after his children after the death of his wife. Urbani is as huge as they come. He starred in The Buddy Holly Story in South Africa and on London's West End and spent years working in Europe and Asia. A winner of the Vita and DALRO awards, Urbani has been nominated for a Laurence Olivier Award in London's West End, and decorated for his role as Alec Mathews in SABC's Isidingo. In the show, with military precision Von Trapp defends through song and dance, the sanity of his family. His marching band includes the versatile Lynelle Kenned, who many may recall as the runner up in the Top Presenter search. Kenned plays Maria Rainer, the musically gifted governess who uses music to bring hope in a time of despair. The Pasella presenter has won the prestigious 2015 Fleur du Cap Award for Best Performance. The kindly, understanding Mother Abbess is played by operatrained singer, Arline Jaftha, who last impressed Durban audiences in The Playhouse Company's Easter Concert. By all accounts The Sound of Music is highly recommended family viewing for the holidays.
