This is the “new North American tour” of The Sound of Music. Director Jack O’Brien aims to “get rid of some of the kitschier elements” and present something other than “your mother’s version,” pointing to a fresh interpretation of the classic. The musical deals with “love, family and resistance in the face of adversity” and “accurately depicts the rise of Nazism,” including “Nazi-related elements” and “Nazi symbolism,” which gives it a historical and political dimension.
