The Sound of Music is based on the true story of the Von Trapp family singers who fled their native Austria to escape the Nazi regime. This classic has captured our hearts since it first appeared on Broadway in 1959 and again in 1965 when the musical was released as a film staring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. The film won five Academy Awards including Best Picture of the Year.
