Modern Theater Coeur d’Alene’s ‘Sound of Music’ leaves one humming

“The Sound of Music” follows irrepressible Maria, a nun-to-be who becomes a governess for seven children. Emily Cleveland, a solid vocalist who has always been an audience favorite, is energetic and embodies the playfulness of the character quite well. Her renditions of “I Have Confidence,” “Do-Re-Mi” and “My Favorite Things” are all great.

Cleveland has a nice rapport with the Von Trapp children, who also demonstrate much vocal talent: Liesl (Riley Setian), Friedrich (Nick Griep), Louisa (Katie Ann Schini), Kurt (Gregory Schaefer), Brigitta (Sophie Anderson), Marta (Quincy McFaul) and Gretl (Olivia McNeice). Setian’s portrayal of Liesl is sweet, and her singing voice is as smooth as silk. More . Sandra Hosking, SR
