WOODSTOCK – The worldwide phenomenon "Sing-a-Long Sound of Music" comes to Town Hall Theatre on Saturday, Nov. 28, at 7 p.m. Having started in the UK back in 1999, the show has now become a worldwide hit, playing to packed houses across the globe with more than 10,000 performances in nine different countries. It's even filled the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles – three times. For those not yet converted, "Sing-a-Long Sound of Music" is a screening of the classic Julie Andrews film musical in glorious, full-screen Technicolor, complete with subtitles so that the whole audience can sing along. Far more than just a movie, the fun-filled show starts with a vocal warm-up led by the evening's host, who also takes the audience through their complimentary "magic moments pack," containing various props to be used at strategic points throughout the film.
Tickets are $18, $12 under 18, and can be purchased through the Pentangle box office at (802) 457-3981, or online at www.pentanglearts.org.
