You will never listen to The Sound of Music the same again! Doug Elkins creates a stimulating new take on that most memorable Rodgers & Hammerstein musical in his award-winning Fräulein Maria (2006). Choreographed with unmatchable skill and wit, classic vaudeville gags, modern social dance moves, and references to icons of the dance world – George Balanchine, José Limón, Paul Taylor, Martha Graham – breathe new life into such memorable tunes as “Do-Re-Mi” and “The Lonely Goatherd.” A choreographer with an unstoppable imagination, Elkins will find a way into your heart with something both memorable and touching – and something you will be tempted to sing along with!
