'....for multiple seasons.'

I can think of few in this business who would make such a claim without a wry smile on their face.

I saw the Toronto version a few years back, with the winner of How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria. It was decent but I wasn't blown away. It's one of my favorite movies so I think it would take a hell of a stage show to compare.

Three-time Tony winner Jack O'Brien, will direct the previously announced Sound of Music multi-year tour of North America beginning in September.
