Pull out your lederhosen, polish the glockenspiel, and practice your yodeling. The After Hours Film Society presents the interactive "Sing-A-Long Sound of Music" show starring Julie Andrews in glorious, full-screen Technicolor, complete with subtitles so that the whole audience can sing along! Having started in the UK back in 1999, the film classic has now become a worldwide hit, playing to packed houses across the globe with over 10,000 performances in 9 different countries! It's even filled the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles - 3 times!

Let's start at the very beginning (a very good place to start)...

For those of you not yet converted, Sing-a-Long-a Sound of Music is a screening of the classic Julie Andrews film musical in glorious, full-screen technicolor, complete with subtitles so that the whole audience can sing along!

The fun-filled show starts with a vocal warm-up led by the evening's host, who also takes the audience through their complimentary 'magic moments pack', containing various props to be used at strategic points throughout the film.

Then of course there is the famous fancy-dress competition in which everyone who has come in costume is invited onto the stage to show off their fantastic tailoring skills. And the more venues we play, the more elaborate the costumes get.

So get those vocal chords warmed up, cut up those chintz curtains and hurry down for another dose of the international smash-hit sensation! It's the perfect night out for hen parties, birthday celebrations, office outings family trips, or anyone who has ever shed a tear during 'Edelweiss'! Book early because this show sells out. 

Proceeds from this event will be used to fund the After Hours Film Society's 2012 Student Short Film and Video Festival tentatively scheduled for Monday, October 22, 2012.
