You already know that the woman who played Liesl in the Sound of Music movie back in the 1960s was in town last week…well, she went to the show, and the Community Theatre’s Jan Bollwinkel-Smith says she really enjoyed the show:
Liesl meets Liesl! Charmian Carr and the island’s Julie Hagn, share stories about playing Liesl in The Sound of Music.
“This was the BEST I’ve ever seen!” proclaimed Charmian Carr.
Charmian, who played Liesl in the 1965 movie, The Sound of Music, was the special guest at San Juan Community Theatre’s opening night of the musical.
After seeing the show featuring more than 45 island actors, Charmian said it was the best stage production of the musical she’d ever seen! Her longtime friend Ted Soares, who was the property master for the play and has been involved in many SJCT productions, responded with: “I told you!”
Tickets are still available …but seats are filling up fast! The Sound of Music continues this Friday and Saturday, May 11 and 12 at 7:30 pm and Sunday at 5:00 pm. Final shows are next Thursday through Sunday, May 17-20. www.sjctheatre.org.
