‘The Sound of Music’ Tour Brings Its Beloved Story to Costa Mesa
Segerstrom Center for the Arts is bringing the North American tour of "The Sound of Music" to its Segerstrom Hall stage from June 2 to 14, 2026, and if you have any affection for this story, this is one worth making plans for.
The production, directed by Jack O'Brien, the 2024 recipient of a Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre, features Cayleigh Capaldi as Maria, fresh off a celebrated run in London's West End. She's joined by Kevin Earley as Captain von Trapp, the always-reliable Christiane Noll as the Mother Abbess, and a cast that includes Nicholas Rodriguez, Kate Loprest, Ariana Ferch and Ian Coursey.
All the songs you love are here: "My Favorite Things," "Do-Re-Mi," "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," "Edelweiss" and the title number, drawn from Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II's Tony, Grammy and Academy Award-winning score.
O'Brien, who reunited with choreographer Danny Mefford, music supervisor Andy Einhorn and the rest of his creative team for this new staging, said he's excited to see a fresh cast bring new life to a show audiences have cherished for generations.
Tickets start at $39 and are available at scfta.org, by phone at 714-556-2787, or in person at the box office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa.
