Back in 1978 I was a college student writing for the university newspaper. They assigned me a review...of the traveling company of THE SOUND OF MUSIC, starring then 48-year-old Sally Ann Howes as the postulant Maria. Howes was good and game....but still needed all the Von Trapp kids to help her 'jump' onto the bed in MY FAVORITE THINGS. The production was odd all around: all the adult roles were played by people in their 60s and 70s (to make Sally Ann appear younger?) and all the Von Trapp kids were cast much younger than their character's ages. It appeared to be about a world where the parents were gone and only grandparents were around.
And I had to write a review. |
