The Sound of Music

The Sound of Music is a musical with music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and a book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse. It is based on the memoir of Maria von Trapp, The Story of the Trapp Family Singers. Set in Austria on the eve of the Anschluss in 1938, the musical tells the story of Maria, who takes a job as governess to a large family while she decides whether to become a nun. She falls in love with the children, and eventually their widowed father, Captain von Trapp. He is ordered to accept a commission in the German navy, but he opposes the Nazis. He and Maria decide on a plan to flee Austria with the children. Many songs from the musical have become standards, such as "Edelweiss", "My Favorite Things", "Climb Ev'ry Mountain", "Do-Re-Mi", and the title song "The Sound of Music".

The original Broadway production, starring Mary Martin and Theodore Bikel, opened on November 16, 1959. It won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, out of nine nominations. The original London production opened at the Palace Theatre on May 18, 1961. The show has enjoyed numerous productions and revivals since then. It was adapted as a 1965 film musical starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, which won five Academy Awards. The Sound of Music was the last musical written by Rodgers and Hammerstein; Oscar Hammerstein died of cancer nine months after the Broadway premiere.

Sound of Music (punk club)

The Sound of Music club was a punk music concert venue, located at 162 Turk Street in the Tenderloin area of San Francisco, California, in the early 1980s.

Sound of Music was at first a club where (mostly) gay female impersonators performed. By 1980, the proprietor, known only as "Celso," became amenable to trying other genres. Linda Barnhizer and Alan Naldrett, two local promoters who occasionally ran shows at Fort Mason (another venue in the area), successfully convinced Celso that punk music would be a good match for the club. The new genre of punk music was already thriving at a few venues in the city, such as Mabuhay Gardens, which was a Filipino restaurant during the day and had punk bands in the evening. (The Police, Devo, and Blondie were some of the notable bands that made their first Bay Area appearances at Mabuhay Gardens.)

The first punk performance at Sound of Music was in February 1980, with bands The Employees and Freon. Soon punk music took over the venue, with many new up-and-coming bands playing most days of the week. Refreshments consisted of cans of beer sold out of coolers for a dollar.
