The Sound of Music
The Sound of Music was the first musical I watched in the year of 2007. I should thank my ex-schoolmates for inviting me to go to this world’s best-loved musical on Saturday 1 November 2007 at the London Palladium. Surprisingly I found this musical enjoyable even though I had seen the film version for at least 3 times.
I am completely carried away by Connie Fisher because of her gorgeous voice. She was awarded the lead role Maria Von Trapp in the Sound of Music after she won the BBC talent show How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria? She successfully received standing ovations for her enchanting portrayal of Maria. She is absolutely destined for stardom!
Besides, I am also moved by an elegant old British lady sitting beside me. She went to the musical with two old British ladies and a little boy. I supposed the little boy should be the grandson of one of the old ladies. They are from Newcastle. Most surprisingly, she treated me as her own granddaugther by sharing the Programme with me (a programme costs 3 pounds) and chatting with me during the intermission. After the curtain fell, I told her that it was my first visit to London and I really enjoyed the musical. Finally, I said goodbye to ‘my dear granny’. Hugging me tightly, she said in her gentle soothing voice , ‘goodbye, my love’. How lovely the lady from Newcastle!
