THE HILLS are alive with The Sound of Music at Bradford Alhambra this month.
The latest production of the classic family musical can be seen from February 25-29 with Emilie Fleming in the title role.
Emilie was a finalist in the BBC talent show Over the Rainbow with Andrew Lloyd Webber and her musical theatre credits include the West End’s 20th anniversary production of Les Miserables.
The show portrays the true story of the world-famous Trapp family, from their romantic beginnings and search for happiness, to their thrilling escape to freedom as their beloved Austria becomes part of the Third Reich at the start of the Second World War.
Andrew Lancel will reprise his role as Captain von Trapp.
He is best known as super-villain Frank Foster in Coronation Street, a role that earned him a ‘Villain of the Year’ award at the British Soap Awards. He also played DI Neil Manson in the long-running ITV television series The Bill.
Andrew’s stage credits include Bill Kenwright’s touring productions of The Small Hand and Twelve Angry Men. He starred in The Man Who Made The Beatles in Liverpool and London, and most recently appeared on stage in the UK tour of The Lady Vanishes.
Producer Bill Kenwright said “The music and narrative of The Sound of Music are timeless. The musical is a beautiful story about family and hope. The score transcends generations and the songs are known and loved by everyone.”
