I could have sworn it was Sound of Music - but I was not alive when she apparently did it!
But, I believe there was production sometime in the mid-1970's of the Sound of Music in Los Angeles - the only reference to it I can find so far is in Crispin Glover's biography! Apparently he got cast when he was 13, and was born in 1964 - so that does make some sense.
I just realized I've been confused all day long - this is actually my 9th day without smoking or drinking, not my 8th! As difficult as this is, the last thing I need to be doing is shortchanging my accomplishment.
OK - not crazy - she did the first national tour, and then reprised her roll when I saw it in the 1970's. Well, I still ma be crazy, but at least not about this!
"The hills were alive when Florence took center stage as Maria in the 1961-62 national company of "The Sound of Music" The musical, set during World War II, was based on the life of the Trapp family of Austria. Maria, a young postulant, is hired as a governess for Captain Von Trapp's children. She instills in the children the love of life and of music. She falls in love with the Captain and they get married. Their love and marriage is not without obstacles, including the captain's engagement to another woman and the Nazis calling him to service. The score from "Sound of Music" includes such memorable songs as the title song and Florence's solo,"The Sound of Music," "My Favorite Things," "Edelweiss," "Climb Every Mountain," and "Do Re Mi". Florence reprised her role as Maria in 1978 in a Civic Light Opera production of the show."

"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."
