As I work at a theatre as a member of the front of house staff, I am to see shows almost every week. Usually there are the usual expectations of theatre – musicals, comedians etc. However, annually, a company puts up a large screen and plays the movie musical, ‘The Sound of Music’. Named a ‘sing-a-long’, lyrics are placed on screen, and the audience members are actively encouraged to sing along. I love the sound of music, and I have watched the movie several times, and have even seen a stage production of it many years ago. I think to enjoy this experience, you would have to know the story and characters inside out. Throughout the film, the spectators were prompted to make jeers or oohs whenever characters arrived, or acted in a certain way. When Maria put one hand on her head, they said ‘Oh!’ When it was two, they made sure to ‘Aah’. The Duchess was hissed at (which I thought was a tad unfair to that character) and Rolf the Nazi was barked at like a dog – ‘Rolf Rolf!’ The introduction before the film even began took fifty minutes, as a woman taught the audience the cues. Each participant was given a goody bag. It consisted of cards to hold up at the opportune moments, a scrap of curtain fabric, an ‘invitation’ to Captain Von Trapp’s party, a party popper (for when Maria and the Captain kiss) and a fake edelweiss flower. Participants were actively encouraged to dress up. Some imaginative children dressed up as ‘brown paper packages tied up with string’. Others came as stereotypical Austrian Frauleins. There was one Nazi, and for a reason I am still unsure of; a very colourful clown. Never had I seen so many nuns in one room. Unfortunately during the costume competition I wasn’t in the auditorium, so I didn’t get to see who won, although I know that second place went to a ‘naughty’ nun, with knee high socks and plenty of tattoos. My co-workers and I took many group photos of the nuns. A few of them were bearded, and not exactly thrilled to be there! Needless to say, the confetti from the party poppers were not pleasant to pick up at the end of the show! They got absolutely everywhere. My shift started at 5:45, and I left home at 11:15, so for me it was a long shift. Although I only wafted in and out of the auditorium, everyone in the theatre could hear the movie as it played. The volume was very high. I also made sure to pop inside for the interesting moments. The tickets cost £15 each. I thought that was quite expensive for a film, but the venue was an excellent place for a movie and the audience did get extras. A screen was pulled down over the stage so the projection was as large as a regular cinema, plus during the interval the audience could buy drinks from the bar. It’s clear that the sing-a-long is an experience like no other, and for some it’s a tradition that they follow every year. As the fliers state: ‘The audience is the star.’
