■ Star City Dinner
Theatre’s ‘Sound of Music’
adds twist to classic.
By Josh Nkhols
Staff uiiter
Sometimes, you just can’t beat a
classic.
That is why the Star City Dinner
Theatre is kicking off the 2000 season
with the timeless classic, “The Sound of
Music.”
The 38-person cast will do its first
performance Thursday night.
Managing Director of the dinner
theater, Robert D. Rook, will direct the
musical.
^ We tried to
keep it brisk and
find more
comedy than
people have
come to expect
out of this
production.”
Robert D. Rook
Managing director of the dinner theater
The theater chose “The Sound of
Music” because the it wanted to do
work by Rodgers and Hammerstein,
Rook said
The music by Richard Rodgers and
lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein in “The
Sound of Music,” released in 1959,
were the f rial collaboration between the
two men.
The. musical ran on Broadway for
1,443 performances, won six Tony

The unforgettable music by
Rodgers and Hammerstein is incorpo
rated into a play about an Austrian
woman, Maria, who is sent to the von
Trapp family and leaves her monastic
surroundings.
Her journey leads her to Captain
von Trapp, a widowed naval officer who
believes in rearing his seven children
with strict military discipline.
She is entrusted with caring and
helping rear the seven children.
Ignoring the Captain’s beliefs on
strict, disciplined child rearing, she wins
the children’s love with her warm, pas
sionate personality.
In time, a complicated romance
develops between the Captain and
Maria.
After the two are married, political
issues arise with the Nazi’s occupancy
of Austria. The Captain is called on to
return to military service for the Nazis.
Despising the thought of being affil
iated with the Nazis, the Captain takes
his family and plots to flee the country.
Mixed into this romantic, suspense
f lied plot are the classic musical pieces.
The title song, “The Sound of
Music,” is sung at the beginning of the
musical, followed later by “Do-Re-Mi,”
a musical lesson sung by Maria while
teaching the children.
Other classic favorites include “My
Favorite Things,” sung by Maria to win
the approval of the von Trapp children,
and “Climb Every Mountain,” which
the Reverend Mother sings to Maria to
encourage her to follow her heart.
Rook said the original music from
the musical will be performed with
some additional songs that will be new
to those who have only seen the movie.
Rook said “The Sound of Music”
was chosen as the season opener as part
of an effort to have familiar titles that
include something for every age.
Although the story has a dark
undertone as a result of the Nazi regime,
Rook said this show will try to incorpo

rate more comedy into the performance
than other productions.
Because of this, he said, the show
should be enjoyable for both children
and adults.
“We tried to keep it brisk and find
more comedy than people have come to
expect out of this production,” he said.
To keep the play moving quickly,
Rook said a revolving stage that
includes three different sets will be
used.
This will allow for quick scene
changes, he said.
Jumping from scene to scene quick
ly is a concern, along with keeping the
38-member cast organized.
This is the first time the Dinner
Theatre has done this musical, and the
number of performers it requires is large
by the theater’s standards, Rook said.
But David Claus, who plays von
Trapp, said the large cast has not been a
problem, and that rehearsals have been
going well.
He said the actors playing the seven
children have been wonderful and
described Maria, played by Melissa
Bemadt, as a “class act.”
Claus said the dinner theater did not
have a bad seat, which makes the actors
“up close and personal.”
He also said they use all the stage
and some more, but would not say what
he meant by this, adding that the only
way to fmd out is to attend.
“It’s going to be a great show,” he
said.
