    I loved "The Sound of Music" as a kid. Combine the original movie music with first rate modern/hip-hop dance, along with a multicultural transgendered Von Trapp family and the result is a highly entertaining evening well worth the price of admission. There is even a brief sing-along portion of the performance. Doug Elkins' choreography is always interesting, and it's clear he has a great fondness for the original "Sound of Music". His interpretation is great fun and showcases the amazing talents of his dance troupe. If you enjoy dance at the Fringe Festival, you'll definitely come away happy from "Fraulein Maria"> Collapse
