YOU only need the first few notes of most of these tunes to know you're listening to songs from the The Sound of Music.

Climb Every Mountain, Edelweiss, 16 going on 17, My Favourite Things and Do Re Mi are a part of so many childhoods.

This beloved stage musical is coming to the Jetty Theatre courtesy of the Coffs Harbour Musical Comedy Company and is the final stages of rehearsal with the curtain going up November 3.

The story of Maria, the convent, the von Trapp children and the handsome captain has all the elements.

Fiona Stiles and Beckley Vincent lead a cast of talented locals with the von Trapp children being double cast (See CHMCC website for dates).
