FEBRUARY 17-22, 2026 • ORPHEUM THEATRE
A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT & CEO
Something interesting about classic Broadway musicals is, to put it bluntly, how they age. What I mean by that is how they stand the test of time.
Do you still sing the songs to yourself before you fall asleep the night after seeing the show?
Is the plot still relevant in the modern world?
And perhaps most importantly, do audiences still want to see the piece?
I am happy to say the musical you are watching today provides resounding yes answers to all these questions!
The Sound of Music is a classic in every sense of the word yet is still relevant and popular. I am so happy we could bring this show back for your enjoyment. Memphis never seems to weary of Maria and the von Trapp family.
I am often asked to pick my favorite musical and truthfully, I cannot do it. Because I love so many of them and all for different reasons. Plus, I have seen them at different points in my life. What I was doing at the time influences my memories of the shows.
But when I think of the musicals of my childhood, I dearly love Rodgers & Hammerstein’s productions. The Sound of Music is one of their best, and one of my favorites.
I hope you like it today as much as you did the first time you saw it, whenever that might have been.
Before I say, “Enjoy the show”, I need to remind you to join us on March 16 when we will reveal our 2026-2027 Broadway Season at the Orpheum! The annual Reveal Event is one of the highlights of the year at the Orpheum. I know you want to be there!
And now, enjoy the show!
Thanks for spending the next couple of hours with us.

RICHARD RODGERS and OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN II (Music and Lyrics). After long and highly distinguished careers with other collaborators, Richard Rodgers (composer, 1902–1979) and Oscar Hammerstein II (librettist/ lyricist, 1895–1960) joined forces in 1943 to create the most successful partnership in the American musical theater. Prior to his work with Hammerstein, Rodgers collaborated with lyricist Lorenz Hart on a series of musical comedies that epitomized the wit and sophistication of Broadway in its heyday. Among their greatest successes were Pal Joey, On Your Toes, and Babes In Arms. Throughout the same era, Hammerstein brought new life to the operetta, culminating in the masterpiece Show Boat (music by Jerome Kern). Oklahoma!, the first Rodgers & Hammerstein musical, was also the first of a new genre, the musical play, blending Rodgers’s musical comedy style with Hammerstein’s innovations in operetta. Oklahoma! was followed by Carousel, State Fair (film 1945, 1962; Broadway 1996), Allegro, South Pacific, The King and I, Me and Juliet, Pipe Dream, Cinderella (television 1957, 1965, 1997; Broadway 2013), Flower Drum Song, and The Sound of Music. Collectively, the Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals have earned Tonys, Oscars, GRAMMYs, Emmys, Pulitzers, and Olivier Awards. HOWARD LINDSAY and RUSSEL CROUSE (Book). Lindsay and Crouse had one of the longest and most storied playwriting collaborations in theatrical history, lasting 32 years. Howard Lindsay was born in 1889 and died in 1968. He became an actor at 19 and went on to become a successful Broadway playwright and director. Russel Crouse was born in 1893 and died in 1966. After serving in the Navy, he worked on New York newspapers, gaining his first renown through a signed column in the Post. In 1932 he became head of the publicity department for the Theatre Guild and in 1933 wrote his first Broadway show, collaborating with Corey Ford on the musical comedy Hold Your Horses. From 1934 on Crouse wrote only with Lindsay. Their hits include The Sound of Music (with a score by Rodgers & Hammerstein); Anything Goes and Red, Hot, and Blue (with scores by Cole Porter); Call Me Madam (score by Irving Berlin); the longrunning play Life With Father (which originally starred Lindsay); the Pulitzer Prize-winning State of the Union; and The Great Sebastians, written for Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, the pre-eminent acting team of the day. Their producing credits included The Hasty Heart, Detective Story, and Arsenic and Old Lace
JACK O’BRIEN (Director) recently received a Lifetime Achievement Tony Award, and directed The Roommate on Broadway with Mia Farrow and Patti LuPone followed by a production of Ibsens Ghosts
WHO’S WHO IN THE CAST
