It is based on the memoir of Maria von Trapp, The Story of the Trapp Family Singers. Many songs from the musical have become standards, such as "Edelweiss", "My Favorite Things", "Climb Ev'ry Mountain", "Do-Re-Mi", and the title song "The Sound of Music". It was adapted as a 1965 film musical starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, which won five Academy Awards."
