Beloved family-friendly musical to be performed weekends Jan. 29-Feb.13

(COVINGTON, KY) – The Carnegie proudly continues its 2021-22 Theatre Series with the beloved Rodgers & Hammertstein musical THE SOUND OF MUSIC, playing on the Otto M. Budig stage weekends Jan. 29 – Feb. 13, 2022.

Set in Austria, THE SOUND OF MUSIC tells the story of an exuberant young governess as she brings music and joy back to a broken family… Only to face danger as the Nazis gain power.

Featuring an iconic score, THE SOUND OF MUSIC features performances of several classic tunes including “My Favorite Things,” Sixteen Going on Seventeen” and “Climb Every Mountain.” This family-friendly favorite shares a meaningful story in a setting enjoyable for all ages.

“We can’t wait to share this classic musical with families across the tristate in a triumphant return to our gorgeous, historic theatre,” said The Carnegie Theatre Director Maggie Perrino. “We’ve been busy during the last 20 months and audiences will not only see a spectacular show but also a lot of restoration work to the facility that will keep our theatre beautiful for the next generation. Come and share a special theatre experience with the family at The Carnegie this winter!”

Performances of THE SOUND OF MUSIC run weekends Jan. 29-Feb. 13, with an initial Saturday, Jan. 29 performance at 7:30 p.m. followed by performances on Fridays at 7:30 p.m., remaining Saturdays at 2 and 7:30 p.m., and Sundays at 3 p.m. Tickets are $32, $29 for Carnegie Members, $25 for students, and $15 for children under 10.
