"Do a dear, a female dear, Re a drop of golden sun..."
So goes the song that I would sing and vehemently make my brothers sing when we were much, much younger than we are now. This musical film is our mother's favorite, therefore we have a copy of it at home. I would watch this film over and over, resulting to me (as a little girl) emulating some scenes and memorized the songs by heart. For nostalgic reasons, not a year would go by that I wouldn't watch the movie for the pure enjoyment of the songs and the good memories it brings me after seeing it again for the nth time. (Ahh... to be young again and have no care for the world...)
Fortunately, for us Generation X, Resorts World Manila is presenting an all-Filipino talent cast reprising the all-time classic favorite, "The Sound of Music" in RWM's Newport Performing Arts Theater (NPAT) in Pasay City. This theater boasts a humongous LED screen (claimed to be the largest in Southeast Asia) that will surely add eye-candy to your viewing pleasure with video animated scenes during the actors' performances.
The Sound of Music is a musical by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and a book by Howard Lindsay and Russell Crouse based on a non-fictional character, Maria Von Trapp born in 1905 in Austria.
