The Sound of Music at Bass Performance Hall — April 2027
Rodgers & Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music is coming to Fort Worth as part of the 2026–27 Broadway at the Bass season, running April 20–25, 2027 at the magnificent Bass Performance Hall in downtown Fort Worth. Directed by three-time Tony Award winner Jack O’Brien (Hairspray), this critically acclaimed national tour brings 8 performances of the beloved classic to one of the finest performance halls in the country.
For over 65 years, The Sound of Music has captivated audiences with its irresistible combination of unforgettable songs, a deeply moving story, and universal themes of love, courage, and the transformative power of music. This vibrant new production, which launched in September 2025 and has drawn rave reviews across the country, reimagines the cherished musical with fresh staging and breathtaking scenic design while preserving every note of the Rodgers & Hammerstein score audiences know and love.
Bass Performance Hall — Fort Worth’s Crown Jewel
Bass Performance Hall is one of America’s premier performing arts venues, located at 525 Commerce Street in the heart of Sundance Square. Built entirely with private funds and opened in 1998, the hall seats 2,056 across orchestra, mezzanine, and upper gallery levels. Its stunning limestone façade features iconic 48-foot angel sculptures, and the interior offers exceptional acoustics that bring every note of the Rodgers & Hammerstein score to vivid life. Bass Hall serves as the permanent home of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, Texas Ballet Theater, Fort Worth Opera, and the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.
The intimate 2,056-seat layout means every seat delivers outstanding sightlines — from the orchestra level’s immersive proximity to the stage to the upper gallery’s sweeping perspective of the full production. For a show as visually rich as The Sound of Music, with its Alpine landscapes and elaborate period costumes, Bass Hall’s scale ensures audiences feel part of the story.
A Perfect Evening in Sundance Square
A night at Bass Hall is more than a show — it’s an evening in Fort Worth’s most vibrant entertainment district. Sundance Square offers dozens of restaurants, cocktail lounges, and shops within easy walking distance. The open-air Sundance Square Plaza, directly adjacent to the hall, features live entertainment and al fresco dining options perfect for a pre-show meal or post-show drink. From upscale steakhouses to craft cocktail bars and Southwestern cuisine, the district makes it easy to build a memorable night around your performance.

The Beloved Score

The stage version includes songs not featured in the 1965 Julie Andrews film, including “How Can Love Survive” and “No Way to Stop It.”
The Story
The Sound of Music is based on the true story of the Von Trapp Family Singers. Set in Austria in 1938, the musical follows Maria Rainer, a free-spirited postulant who becomes governess to the seven children of widowed naval Captain Georg von Trapp. Through her warmth and love of music, Maria transforms the household and captures the Captain’s heart, just as the rise of the Nazi party threatens everything they hold dear. The original Broadway production premiered in 1959 starring Mary Martin and won five Tony Awards including Best Musical. The 1965 film starring Julie Andrews won five Academy Awards including Best Picture and remains one of the most beloved movies of all time.
