This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Jennifer Tilson, comment #123.
As a child, I was constantly singing Do-Re-Mi. I can’t remember when the obsession started, but I’m willing to bet that The Sound of Music is fully responsible for my love of Broadway shows. The Sound of Music first opened on Broadway 50 years ago this month. In fact, it was the last musical collaboration between composer Richard Rodgers and lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II.
The Sound of Music ran 1,443 performances on Broadway, toured the U.S. for several seasons and became an even longer-running hit in London when the first British production (1961) ran twice as long as its Broadway counterpart. Then, 6 years later was brought to film starring Julie Andrews. It’s won the hearts of many and continues to be one of the most popular musicals of all time.

In celebration of the 50th Anniversary, Sony Music has released the 50th Anniversary Special Edition of the Original Cast Recording.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Broadway premiere of The Sound of Music, Masterworks Broadway has restored the original cast recording in a new edition that features three unusual bonus tracks, extensive liner notes about the show’s history by Bert Fink of the Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization, and rarely seen photos of the recording sessions, held November 22, 1959, in Columbia Records’ celebrated 30th Street Studios.
In addition to the original cast recording, the three bonus tracks on the 50th anniversary edition are:
- “From Switzerland: The Pratt Family,” a spoof of The Sound of Music created for and performed by Julie Andrews and Carol Burnett in 1962 on their TV special Julie and Carol Live at Carnegie Hall;
- A live recording of “Edelweiss,” sung in German, from the historic first production (2005) of The Sound of Music in Vienna;
In addition, Simon & Schuster offers a a collectible pop-up book for your family. Available wherever books are sold, it’s beautifully based on the songs in The Sound of Music.
Readers are transported to the lush green hills of the von Trapps’ Austria in this heartwarming tale of familial love and growth. With paper engineering and illustrations as unforgettable as each timeless melody, The Sound of Music: A Classic Collectible Pop-Up couples visually stunning pop-ups with words from favorite songs, such as “My Favorite Things” and “Edelweiss.” It is sure to become one of this season’s favorite things, as well as a phenomenal keepsake to read again-and-again for years to come.
Bring The Sound of Music into the lives of your children and don’t forget the Sing-Along Activity Kit. What better way to share the love of reading with music…or vice versa! Head’s up! You’ll want to keep this site in mind when entering in the giveaway!!

November 29th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
My favorite song is Do-Re-Me & I LOVE this song because sometimes I change the words to adapt to my life at the current moment. (For example: Do is what I’m told at work, Ray – is the name of my new boss, etc.)
Thanks for such a great giveaway!
December 1st, 2009 at 9:04 pm
I like all the songs from Sound of Music. I guess my favorite is Do-Re-Me since I can’t sing worth a darn. It’s the only song where I don’t sound too bad.
