About Music Hall at Fair Park

The Music Hall at Fair Park is the historic home of Broadway Dallas (formerly Dallas Summer Musicals) and has hosted legendary touring productions for decades. Located within the State Fair of Texas grounds, this Art Deco landmark offers exceptional acoustics and sightlines that make it ideal for large-scale musical productions.

The Story of The Sound of Music

The Sound of Music is loosely based on the true story of the Von Trapp Family Singers. Set in Austria in 1938, the musical follows Maria Rainer, a free-spirited young woman who becomes governess to the seven children of widowed naval Captain Georg von Trapp. Through her warmth and love of music, Maria transforms the household – and captures the Captain’s heart – just as the Nazi party rises to power.

The original Broadway production premiered in 1959 starring Mary Martin as Maria and won five Tony Awards including Best Musical. The 1965 film adaptation starring Julie Andrews became one of the most beloved movies of all time, winning five Academy Awards including Best Picture.

Iconic Songs You’ll Hear

The Rodgers & Hammerstein score includes some of the most recognizable songs in musical theatre history:

• “The Sound of Music”
• “Maria”
• “My Favorite Things”
• “Do-Re-Mi”
• “Sixteen Going on Seventeen”
• “The Lonely Goatherd”
• “So Long, Farewell”
• “Climb Ev’ry Mountain”
• “Edelweiss”

This was the final musical written by the legendary partnership of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II before Hammerstein’s death in 1960.

This is the original stage musical, which differs from the 1965 film in several ways.

The stage version also includes songs not in the film, including “How Can Love Survive” and “No Way to Stop It.”
