The Stephen Foster Drama Association (SFDA) has announced that their 2025 Summer Broadway Musical will be Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “The Sound of Music.” The show, set to be performed in July and August, will take place at the J. Dan Talbott Amphitheatre in Bardstown, and tickets are available now. A total of seven performances will take place in July and two will take place in August.

“The Sound of Music” is a Broadway musical about Maria, a spirited governess who brings joy, music and love back to the von Trapp family. Featuring beloved songs like “Do-Re-Mi,” “My Favorite Things,” “Edelweiss” and “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” this classic musical celebrates the power of music and the triumph of the human spirit.
Known for their annual production of “The Stephen Foster Story,” SFDA continues their Summer Broadway Series after last year’s production of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” and Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” in 2023.
“We are honored to bring the timeless joy of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s ‘The Sound of Music’ to life on our stage,” said SFDA Executive Artistic Director Johnny Warren. “This classic story is filled with iconic songs and heartfelt moments. We are excited to invite audiences of all ages to join us for an unforgettable theatrical experience.”
SFDA’s production of “The Sound of Music” is presented with support from Salt River Electric, a Touchstone Energy Cooperative serving Bullitt, Nelson, Spencer and Washington counties since 1937. Additional support is provided by Physicians to Children & Adolescents, a local pediatric office that has been in the community for over 40 years, providing care from birth to adolescence to the children of Nelson County, Washington County and the surrounding areas.
Tickets for “The Sound of Music” are available now at www.stephenfoster.com or by calling the box office between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday or Fridays at 502-348-5971.
