Sound of Music Collectibles

by

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.

PhotobucketThe 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.

PhotobucketAdditionally, Masterworks Broadway has restored the original Broadway cast recording. The Sound of Music: 50th Anniversary Edition features Mary Martin and the Tony Award-winning cast. It includes all the original songs as well and three bonus tracks, extensive notes about the show’s history, and rarely seen photos.

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.

  2. Who can resist the Sound of Music????? Not me, not my sons, and certainly not my 8 yr old daughter! Great gift.

  21. The Sound of Music was the first movie that I saw in a theatre.(guess I just told my age). I still love it!

  27. I was just teaching my 2 y.o. the Do-Re-Mi song this past weekend! I’m sure she’d much prefer to hear Maria sung by a professional. 🙂

  28. This is by far one of the best musicals of all time! One of my favorites for sure! I’ve played all of the arrangements for this musical on the piano and enjoy sharing my talent with others! Good Luck All!

  29. I still remember watching The Sound Of Music in the 3rd grade as part of our madatory choir. I think it sticks out because it was the only part I enjoyed. 🙂

  37. I LOVE the Sound of Music– we had to learn all the songs in 6th grade and 25 years later I still remember them all!

  39. The Sound of music is my favorite movie of all time and it’s also my 17 yr old daughters. I’d love to win this for her!

  41. Another giveaway featuring a beloved classic — thanks for the chance to win this set! I’m really excited to hear the new material on the cast recording and read the insights in the new liner notes, and the pop-up book would be a terrific gift for my niece. Cheers!

  46. I’ve always LOVED Sound of Music. What fun a pop up book would be and it would be nice to introduce it to my children. Thanks.
