The tour will make multi-week stops in the Philippines, India, Malaysia, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other countries that have yet to be announced.

The upcoming tour is led by Jill-Christine Wiley as Maria Rainer, Trevor Martin as Captain von Trapp, with Daniel Fullerton as Rolf, Lauren Kidwell as Mother Abbess, Joshua La Force as Max, Lauren O’Brien as Liesl, and Annie Sherman as Elsa.

The Sound of Music features music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, and a book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, based on The Trapp Family Singers by Maria Augusta Trapp.

The tour is directed by Tony Award-winning director Jack O’Brien, with Broadway choreographer Danny Mefford serving as choreographer and Andy Einhorn as musical supervisor. The creative team also includes Matt Lenz (Original Tour Restaging), James Gray (Original Choreography Restaging), Douglas Schmidt (set design), Jane Greenwood (costume design), Natasha Katz (lighting design), and Shannon Slaton (sound design).
