The Sound of Music Comes to Boise's Morrison Center
The Sound of Music, one of the most beloved musicals in theater history, comes to Boise's Morrison Center for the Performing Arts in 2026. Rodgers and Hammerstein's timeless masterpiece tells the story of Maria, a young woman who leaves an Austrian convent to become governess to the seven children of Captain Georg von Trapp. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Austrian Alps on the eve of World War II, the musical features some of the most iconic songs ever written for the stage, including "My Favorite Things," "Do-Re-Mi," "Edelweiss," and the title number "The Sound of Music." Boise audiences now have the chance to experience this heartwarming classic without leaving the Treasure Valley.
The Morrison Center for the Performing Arts serves as Boise's premier large-scale theater venue, located on the campus of Boise State University along Capitol Boulevard. With a seating capacity of approximately 2,000, the Morrison Center delivers excellent acoustics and sightlines from every section, creating an intimate yet grand atmosphere perfectly suited for The Sound of Music's sweeping orchestral score and lush vocal arrangements. The venue's modern staging capabilities support the production's elaborate Alpine scenic design, period costumes, and the kind of theatrical magic that has made this show a favorite for generations.
The Sound of Music's Boise engagement offers multiple performance dates across its run, giving families and theater enthusiasts flexibility to choose the show that best fits their schedule. Whether you are introducing a new generation to the von Trapp family's inspiring journey or revisiting a beloved classic, the touring production brings the full Broadway-caliber experience to Idaho's capital city. The show is appropriate for all ages, making it an ideal outing for families, date nights, and group outings alike.
