For the first time ever, Malaysia will be hosting the highly acclaimed original production of The Sound Of Music this December. Produced by Broadway International Group, Simone Genatt, and Marc Routh, the musical will be held in Singapore in November then head to Kuala Lumpur the following month to perform at Istana Budaya.

Directed by three-time Tony Award-winner and Broadway veteran Jack O'Brien, The Sound Of Music is one of the most successful Broadway musicals of all time, earning itself five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, as well as the Grammy Award for Best Show Album.

The musical even inspired the beloved film starring Julie Andrews, which won five Oscar Awards, including Best Picture, and was ranked as one of the highest grossing movies of all time.

Now, there's even an opportunity to take part in it. The Sound Of Music producers are looking for 18 children in Malaysia to play roles of the six younger von Trapp children in three separate casts!
