“Calling all nuns, goat herders, hills, Alps, baronesses, brown paper packages tied up with string or any of your favorite things. Get ready to yodel in Whitewater,” said organizers.
“‘Sing-a-long-a Sound of Music’ is not just a chance to see the classic movie on the big screen in magnificent Technicolor and glorious cinemascope. It’s a major audience participation event with subtitles for all the songs.”
Accompanied by a small cast, attendees are encouraged to get up and moving, as well as shout out the lyrics to all of their favorite songs. Dressing up for the show is also encouraged.
