Maria, of course falls in love with Captain Georg von Trapp, but alas he has become engaged to Elsa out of a duty to provide a mother for his seven children.
Sensing that she would not be comfortable staying there after the marriage she returns to the abbey to take her monastic vows, but the Mother Abbess tells Maria she is running away from her feelings.
So many obstacles were overcome in this story for Maria and Georg to finally realize their love. Of course the rest of the story you know ~~~ they lived happily ever after.
Then there was the sweet love between Liesel and Rolf which of course gave me pause to dream of love for me as a young teenage girl.
This is one of my mother's favourite movies so I hope she enjoys the play.
In Toronto over the past few days a massive protest by the Tamils is blocking road traffic very near the theatre district, so I decided we would be better off to take public transportation downtown.
Tomorrow I'll post an update to let you know how the play was.

Barb, I hope your days are getting better. I've missed so much reading- I've been nursing Spouse- and I want to catch up on what everybody's been doing, all my favourite blogs. So this is a start. I'm so glad you found your ring, however strange the story may be.
Hope you had a grand time.
The Ele, So glad you're back around and trust your husband too is coming back to full health.
Vickie, The play was good, mom thoroughly enjoyed it. I must admit though it was a little tame and couldn't compare (in my opinion) to the "The Jersey Boys" or "We Will Rock You", both of which I adored and am going to see again.
Must be the week for musicals. We went to our local theatre production of Beauty and the Beast. It was very well done and most enjoyable. Costumes were superb! I must say I liked Jesus Christ Superstar last year better though. The music was amazing. Alain doesn't enjoy them so I go with a girlfriend. Great fun!
I love the sound of music!!
Susan Boyles has a great voice! I think Andrews is probably better? I would like to hear Susan belt out some sound of music tunes.
I LOVE the movie the Sound of Music. It is one of my all-time faves.
