HONG KONG (South China Morning Post): It has been more than four years since Hong Kong staged a Broadway musical. The last was The Lion King in December 2019. The drought ended this month with the return of the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic The Sound of Music.

Directed by three-time Tony Award winner Jack O’Brien, and led by an all-Broadway creative team, the production opened at the Xiqu Centre in the West Kowloon Cultural District on April 16 and runs until June 9.
