There are very few movies or musicals that I could watch repeatedly, but The Sound of Music is one that never grows old. Since childhood, I have enjoyed the story and music from this classic production. November 2009 marks the 50th anniversary of the original Broadway production of The Sound of Music. In honor of this milestone, Simon and Schuster released The Sound of Music: A Classic Collectible Pop-Up
The design of this book is so fun. Each opening includes a pop-up, but each opening also includes another mini-book filled with more pop-ups and lyrics to many of the songs. This book is a perfect way to introduce Maria and the Von Trapp family to a new generation or a great collectible for any Sound of Music fan.
Additionally, Masterworks Broadway has restored the original Broadway cast recording. The Sound of Music: 50th Anniversary Edition
These items are sold separately, but both would make great gifts. I recommend them both for all ages from children to adults, but they would be especially appreciated by lovers of The Sound of Music or Broadway enthusiasts. I plan to enjoy both of these for years to come, and I am excited to share my love of this musical with my children in new ways.

My parents saw Mary Martin on stage and loved her as Maria. I would love to win this and share it with my kids.
I think my littleone would love this!
This may sound weird, but I have NEVER seen this movie. Either has my 5 1/2 year old daughter. I would love to sit down and watch this with her.
What a great movie! I remember watching it when I was little.
Believe it or not, I never had the opportunity to see “The Sound of Music”. I would love to sit down and watch it with my kids.
Thank you!
My parents had this album when I was a kid, and I listened to it constantly. I knew all the show tunes! Thanks!
I heart The Sound of Music!
Me and my family loved it as a child.
I too have fond memories of The Sound of Music. I watched it as a girl. I watched it again with my daughter.
This is my daughter Sarah’s favorite musical, and she knows all the words to all the songs. I am so glad she loves this music, because I do, too.

I am excited it is the Mary Martin Broadway soundtrack. This is the record I learned to sing with my ma. It will bring back great memories since ma is no longer with us. Fond memories of us singing and dancing and laughing. Thank you for this chance to reminisce.
Thank you.
THIS WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL STORY! I WOULD LOVE TO SHARE THIS WITH THE KIDS!
MAYBE IT WOULD MAKE THEM BE INTERESTING IN PLAYING MUSIC ALONG WITH SINGING!
I know as a child I could not sing but watching this made me want to play ~so I learned the Flute.
Count me in – it’s one of my fav movies of all time
