[Sammy_beck]

I was wondering what part did you play in The Sound of Music? It could be your current role, or your first play ever, what did you play?

I played Brigitta in the 8th grade
and
Postulant, Party Guest, Festival Contestant 10th grade

[what_the_heck013]

In fifth grade, I was Kurt, in eighth grade, I played Friedrich (professionally!!), and in ninth grade (two years in a row, I know), I played Rolf. I've done it too many times.

[mannfann714]

Sister Margaretta. the nice nun. "Maria makes me laugh" one.

Once in sixth grade, now in tenth. same part. It's the role I was born to play apparently.

[tmg]

2nd clarinet, pit orchestra.

[ConverseSneaker]

Nun.


Aren't I special!

[MademoiselleMusicals]

I audtioned for the children BUT there was so much favourtism and I was quite young for Liesal *grrrr* so I didn't get in + I couldn't be a nun as I was about 12/13

[bean_C4U]

I was Kurt. I had an amazing time.

[Sammy_beck]

[ConverseSneaker]

Our director casted her daughter as Liesel and as the lead in her last show

[Sammy_beck]

[Timmy_Wishes he was Quast]

i played the part of audience member number 3 you know - the one who whoops loudly at the end of every song featuring someone i knew...and as i knew Rolf, Liesel, Maria and the Captain it was after most numbers! Suprisingly i wasn't asked to leave!

[Tom]

I have never been in it, but I directed it once.

[alexxboyle]

i was Liesl and it was so much fun!

[LisaKitty]

I was a nun and Baroness Elberfeld (one whole line, whee!).

In the same production, I was also the understudy for Mother Abbess, and got to go on in that role for two performances. I've got to say, that high A at the end of "Climb Every Mountain" was fabulous!

[Sammy_beck]

Yeah I got to hit all of those fun high notes at the end too. Except I hit them for Mother Abbess instead of her hitting them so that she could save her voice. It was still a lot of fun and I really got to work on my high range.

[ConverseSneaker]

[Gavroche Girly]

As my signature implies..I'm currently playing Liesl. Other than that, I've just sang as Brigitta in a choir concert LONG ago. Hehe!

[bell]

in 4th grade i was marta and had a blast!!

[jazzygirlsings]

I played Maria in two separate productions...

I'm guessing I've played Maria for about a year's worth of my life! LOL!

I would love to do it again, strange as that sounds! LOL!

[christea]

I"M PLAYING SISTER MARGERETTA.....I IT'S NOT WHAT I WAS HOPING FOR BUT, IM CONTENT
THIS PAST YEAR iVE BEEN:
TRISH STEGER, LEIGH FONDAKOLSKI, NEWS REPORTER 1, IN THE LARAMIE PROJECT

MOTH AND UNDERSTUDY FOR TITANIS IN A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DRAM

[theatrechick1993]

i was brigitta when i did it a couple of years ago

[Cody]

The Sound of Music was the first play I ever did. It got me started in the theatre department. I was Kurt when my highschool did it, and I was in the fifth grade! So it was quite an accomplishment because about 140 kids auditioned and only four got in, including me and the two younger children and brigitta. The rest were all highschool students. I was quite the cutie back then.

[Tiny-Tot]

I'm starting rehearsals on Thursday and will be playing Brigitta.

[Vaseth]

The Mother Abbess / party guest/ Nazi Voice #1

[gariele-]

I played Gretl (the youngest in the show) and my drama teacher said it was because I'm short. Then she totally contradicted herself when I was cast as Mother Abbess' understudy. She's the oldest/biggest one in the show. I'm still kind of mad about it because my voice is more for Mother Abbess and the girl who played M.A. was a pretty bad singer and it took her about 8 months of practicing to have 3/4 of the power a M.A. should have. Ugh. High schools suck.

[Sammy_beck]

[Elsa2006]

I just played Elsa and loved the experience. I think i've found my 'signature' role!

[SarahBelle]

I played Louisa at camp between 6/7 grade (I was tall...). It was one of my favorite parts I've done!! So much fun!!

[RachaelB]

When i did the show, i was Sister Berthe, the bitchy nun hehe!xxx

[Moose]

The cast list was posted yesterday at school and I have the role of Brigitta!


The cast gets their scripts and everyone watches the movie tomorrow.

[Kitness]

^ Brigitta is a great part. She's the best kid to play after to Liesl (in my opinion. But then I played Liesl so I may be biased).

If you can, listen to the 1998 Revvival CD amd take notes of Tracy Alison Walsh - she's my favourite Brigitta ever.

[Trevor]

I played Frederick.

[broadwaygirl1988]

Maria the first time...in a children's theatre show...and then Liesl professionally in a community theatre show.

I was 16 when I played Maria, 18 when I played Liesl

[Mimi Marquez]

I played Marta.

[rebellohan]

i was frau schmidt heehee

[meef]

The first time I was in TSOM was my sophomore year in high school; it took that director until my junior year to realize I wasn't terrible, so I was Franz, the butler. Not the worst role in musical theatre, but I'd bet it's somewhere close. The role consists of *enter, deliver single expository line, exit* about six or seven times a night, and in a show as long as this one, it can be a drag.

Some years later, just this last summer in fact, a community theatre director friend of mine calls up and says "OH NOES, WE OPEN IN TWO WEEKS AND I'VE HAD SOMEONE DROP, PLZ FILL IN?!" I think, why not, I could stand to add a Max Detweiller or a Rolf to my resume. "Sure, what's the part?" "Franz."

Let's just say the role didn't get any better with time.

[MooreDaltreyLove]

I was Brigitta

[jonvaljohn]

I played Cpt. Von trapp.
Love his songs, but the character is so BLEH!

[phantomphan85]

Never done this show sadly, but I'd love to play Liesl. Sadly, I think I'm getting too old to play her (I'm nearly 22!)

[Mark Walton]

[Mr T]

Played Rolf when I was younger and then played The Captain when I was older. Oh well we all age!!!!

[metaphor17]

when I was 7 I played Marta. it was my first "real" play... at the local high school

I turned 8 during the production. my favorite line was "I'm Marta, I'm turning 7 on Tuesday and I'd like a pink parasol"... but once I messed it up and said I was turning 8 on Tuesday... because I actually was!

not like it matters that much.

[I Love Lockstock]

I've been Marta, Liesl, and Louisa. Louisa was a pro-production.

[pastryyy]

Nun #12, baby!

[Kitness]

[phantomphan85]

Cool, maybe I'll get my chance one day then! I always seem to play younger roles anyway.

[Helena]

I was Maria. It was great fun to act with my "children" and I have stayed in touch with most of them since then.
I really don't like the music, though. I like more of a challenge.

[Lena]

I was Liesl... Two years ago. It was great fun, especially because we got to go to Disneyland (Paris) to perform the songs there the following September !

[i'm_gonna_make_it_on_broa]

I've never been in it, but I love the movie and I would like to be Lisel when I audition.... .... if I audition

[lovesingin]

i really wish i could....if anyone near me ever does it i'm trying out

[PhantomPhan]

We have a community theatre, called Market House Theatre, where I live and I was Kurt. Which was about 2-3 years ago, I think. Now I am in Beauty and the Beast.

[BoundBySound]

I would really love to be Liesl someday, but I haven't had the chance to audition yet...

[star2ballie]

I just got cast as Maria last week in a semi-pro regional here. I'm VERY excited. Be prepared for me to be bugging all of you with questions soon (especially Jazzygirlsings)!!

[zubrelv011]

heyheyhey

um i played Marta in my school's version of the sound of music. it was such an awesome experiance. i met so many new people and my voice has improved so much since then

cya

[gummibear]

I played Gretl when I was 7 at a professional theatre!It was the best experiance I have ever had in theatre!

[purenergy99]

Ensemble. Good old Ensemble. And proud of it. It was my first musical.

[Erulastiel]

I am excited as I was resently cast as Mother Abbess in my theatre company's production! It is going to be in December...so I am praying that it goes well.

[Bookworm]

I have already done SoM once. I think I was Maria or Liesl..
The next time I audition I would love to try out for Liesl. She was originally who I wanted to be the first time I did SoM.

[MunkuSwarley]

I'm the understudy for Rolf, and I get one performance in the role this March.

[NoWayToStopIt]

I played Sister Margaretta! Maria does make me laugh.

[deGREENIFYme]

I was casted Brigitta before

[stagefrightdied]

I was Leisl not too long ago in '07. It was the most fun ever! It was actually more like nerve-wracking... 3 weeks before the show my Rolfe got put on bedrest and couldn't do the show!
Then in the middle of opening night one of my dresses split in half up the back! It was aweful!

[Brigantine]

I was Mother Abbess, in fal '06. The director said he wanted 'the best voice' for the act 1 finale (Climb Ev'ry Mountain)... but I was kind of hoping maybe the "best voice" would get... oh I don't know.. the lead?! who sings during the entire show?!? Maria was 10 years older than me, and he didn't want me to wear any aging makeup... it was just kind of weird.
ME:

[stagefrightdied]

it's odd that the best voice didn't get the lead, but

*totally forgets what she was going to say so coughs and abruptly changes the subject*

your costume is really good! our nuns didn't get a cool little flappy thing on the front of their habits, they just had to put their hands in their sleeves!lol, but it worked-ish!

[musicmanfan]

i'm currently playing as Admiral von Schreiber.

[Melindaisy]

I was Maria.
Loved my kids..............
Not too fond of the show itself.......


singing "The Sound of Music"

[stagefrightdied]

[Salome]

wel..E#lsa is the best role in SOM.


and for everyone using the word.. its CAST not CASTED!

[jax1491]

When I was 6 I was the understudy for Marta and in 7th grade I played Louisa. My first role with lines. Much fun.

[metaphor17]

When I was younger, I played Marta. I really DID turn 7 on Tuesday, and the whole cast got me a pink parasol with my name on it

Along with a music box that played Edelweiss with "Marta" embroidered on it.

The guy who played the Captain had his birthday during tech week and all the kids got him a big cookie cake with "Best Dad Ever" written on it in icing


I will hear within 3 hours whether or not I got Liesl or Louisa in another production.
