The hills are officially alive again.
Nearly 30 years after its last Broadway revival, The Sound of Music is heading back to the Great White Way and, this time, Tony nominee Jasmine Amy Rogers will tie on Maria’s iconic apron.
Lincoln Center Theater has announced that Rodgers and Hammerstein’s beloved musical will return to the Vivian Beaumont Theater for a limited 17-week engagement, with previews beginning on March 23, 2027, ahead of opening night on April 15. The production will be directed by Lear deBessonet, whose acclaimed revival of Ragtime recently swept the Tony Awards, with choreography by Christopher Gattelli (Schmigadoon!).
Rogers, who earned a Tony nomination for BOOP! The Musical, will star as the novice whose arrival transforms the von Trapp family against the backdrop of Nazi-occupied Austria. Additional cast members haven’t been announced yet.
While many audiences know The Sound of Music through the beloved 1965 film starring Julie Andrews, deBessonet says she’s especially interested in the musical’s deeper themes. “It’s a story that is about an authoritarian regime encroaching, and it is a story in which we are holding both the epic and the personal,” she told The New York Times. “It has the story of a family that is dealing with grief and brokenness and needs to heal set against a very specific historical backdrop.”
The revival is the headliner for Lincoln Center Theater’s newly unveiled 2026-27 season, which is stacked with high-profile productions. Also coming to Broadway this fall is the first-ever Broadway revival of Aaron Sorkin’s courtroom drama A Few Good Men, which will be directed by Tony winner Michael Arden. The West Wing star Bradley Whitford, who appeared in the play’s original Broadway production, and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes actor Tom Blyth will lead the cast when previews begin on Oct. 8, ahead of an Oct. 29 opening.
Off Broadway, Lincoln Center will revive August Wilson’s Seven Guitars, present the world premiere of Kimberly Belflower’s Born in the Dirt, welcome Matthew Rhys in the one-man show Playing Burton, and stage the already announced The Whoopi Monologues featuring Kerry Washington, Dominique Fishback, Kecia Lewis, Danielle Pinnock and Kara Young.
“Our second season is rooted in a simple belief: people are hungry for meaningful shared experiences,” deBessonet said in a statement. “We have curated a collection of shows that invite connection and conversation with the world around us.”
For Broadway fans, it’s shaping up to be a season of familiar favorites, star-powered casts and at least one chance to hear “Do-Re-Mi” in Lincoln Center again.
