Last September 6, 2017, we were invited to get a look inside the rehearsals of ‘The Sound of Music. As previously announced, 3 sets of children will be alternating to perform the roles of The Von Trapp children– Friedrich, Louisa, Kurt, Brigitta, Marta, and Gretl throughout its 3-week run at The Theatre at Solaire.

The actress who will be playing Liesl has yet to be announced.) while training the kids with their choreography.
