Sound Of Music 1998 Revival — Page 2

I saw it when I was 8 or 9 and loved it. I actually remember some parts very clearly, and the scenery was gorgeous.

I saw it when I was 10 so I don't remember much except that at the time I thought it was good. I have the playbill but that is all that helps me remember any of it... the fact that Laura Benanti was in it (I didn't see her as Maria, she was "A New Postulant") and that Andrea Bowen (Julie on Desperate Housewives) was Marta.

I saw it with Luker as well as te rest of the original revival cast. All I can really remember is the sets. Sometimes I was in awe of them (I recall numerous pillars and arcs for the opening Abbey scene that I found enchanting) and then sometimes just confused by them (best example I can think of is during "Lonely Goatherd" when Rebecca Luker was singing the opening verse with her guitar on the house patio and then, rather abruptly, three huge Nazi flags dropped heavily onto the stage-their attempt at a transition into the concert). Everything else I don't remember. I spent most of the show wondering whether the girl playing Liesel had played Mary Lennox in a television version of The Secret Garden that I had seen a year earlier.
