The hills around Pitlochry Festival Theatre are alive with exciting news that Olivier award nominated actor Kirsty Findlay and Ali Watt are set to reprise their acclaimed performances as Maria Rainer and Captain Georg von Trapp in Elizabeth Newman’s production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s much-loved musical The Sound of Music.
Originally directed last year at Pitlochry Festival Theatre by Elizabeth Newman, the revival production will be directed by Pitlochry Festival Theatre’s Associate Director Sam Hardie and will run from 14 November - 21 December.
Kirsty Findlay said: “I’m thrilled to be returning to Pitlochry to play Maria in The Sound of Music. This show holds an incredibly special place in my heart, and I can’t wait to explore the story and the music even more and uncover new layers along the way.”
Ali Watt added: “I'm thrilled to be returning to Pitlochry Festival Theatre this Christmas as Captain von Trapp. The wonderful audience reaction last year made it clear just how much this story means to people, and it’s a genuine privilege to help bring its warmth, magic and message to the stage once more. I’m especially excited to be working again alongside so many incredible returning cast members and young actors, as well as all the brilliant new additions to the team.”
Full casting for The Sound of Music will be announced in the coming weeks.
