The Sound of Music Returns to Cleveland

The Sound of Music has been enchanting audiences since its Broadway debut in 1959, and this new national tour directed by Jack O'Brien proves the material has lost none of its power. The production launched in September 2025 and is visiting more than 55 cities across North America through August 2026. The Cleveland engagement at Connor Palace Theatre runs April 22 through 26, giving Northeast Ohio audiences five performances to experience the von Trapp family story in one of the most beautiful theater spaces in the country.

Cayleigh Capaldi leads the cast as Maria, bringing warmth and vocal precision to a role that demands both. Kevin Earley portrays the stern but ultimately tender Captain Georg von Trapp, while Tony nominee Christiane Noll delivers a powerful Mother Abbess. The supporting cast includes Nicholas Rodriguez as Max Detweiler and Kate Loprest as Elsa Schraeder, with a full company of young performers as the von Trapp children. The combination of O'Brien's direction and Danny Mefford's choreography gives this production a vitality that feels both faithful to the original and distinctly modern.

Connor Palace Theatre sits at 1615 Euclid Avenue in the heart of Playhouse Square, the largest performing arts center in the United States outside of New York City. The venue features ornate architectural details, excellent acoustics, and a seating capacity that creates an intimate connection between audience and performers. Playhouse Square is easily accessible from across Greater Cleveland, with multiple parking garages and public transit options nearby.

The Rodgers and Hammerstein score remains one of the most recognizable in musical theater history. Songs like Do-Re-Mi, My Favorite Things, Climb Every Mountain, Sixteen Going on Seventeen, and Edelweiss have transcended the stage to become part of the American cultural fabric. Hearing them performed live by a cast of this caliber, in a theater as stunning as Connor Palace, is a rare opportunity that Cleveland theatergoers will not want to miss.
