The final collaboration between Rodgers & Hammerstein was destined to become the world’s most beloved musical. When a postulant proves too high-spirited for the religious life, she is dispatched to serve as governess for the seven children of a widowed naval Captain. Her growing rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of spirit, gradually captures the heart of the stern Captain, and they marry. Upon returning from their honeymoon they discover that Austria has been invaded by the Nazis, who demand the Captain’s immediate service in their navy. The family’s narrow escape over the mountains to Switzerland on the eve of World War II provides one of the most thrilling and inspirational finales ever presented in the theatre.

As auditions take place at a Westchester estate for a new show by the same creative team of a recent Broadway flop, comic mayhem ensues - complete with sliding panels, swiveling bookcases, secret passageways and a German maid who is apparently four different people. When bodies begin to drop in plain sight, and knives spring out of nowhere, the infamous masked “Slasher” has clearly come on the scene. Even as the composer, lyricist, actors and director prepare for the performance, and a blizzard sequesters the group together, accusations fly as to the identity of the villain. Refreshingly irreverent wit drives this story as the mystery unfolds in the nick of time.
