LUDLOW — The Friends of Ludlow Auditorium (FOLA) will feature the classic musical, “The Sound of Music,” in a unique sing-along format at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 22 in the Ludlow Town Hall Auditorium. The film is a benefit performance for the Black River Good Neighbor Services (BRGNS).
Julie Andrews and the rest of the wonderful cast will still be there singing all the great Rodgers and Hammerstein music from this great production, with one big exception: You’ll also be part of the musical by singing along with them.
Participants are welcome to dress up as favorite cast member (Maria, a nun, the baroness, the captain, etc.) or to just come and sing favorite songs, following large captioned lyrics on the screen.
The sing-along version of this movie has become a world favorite since it offers everyone the opportunity to sing songs they love alongside the great cast, including the Captain and the von Trapp kids.
“Even if you don’t have a great singing voice, there will be plenty of us to blend with you,” said Audrey Bridge of BRGNS, and a longtime participant in this sing-along version.
This will be a fun and memorable family experience. Get ready to sing “Climb Every Mountain,” “My Favorite Things,” “Edelweis,” and, of course, “The Sound of Music.”
The event is open to all. There is no admission fee, but suggested donation is $5 per person, which will support the food shelf. Space is limited; donations can be made now to reserve seats, or are welcome at the door.
