The Hills Are Alive With The Sound of Ghanaians...




I just got back to the University of Ghana's production of the "Sound of Music". The acting and singing were pretty good, but there's only so much you can do on an empty stage and modest budget to recreate 1930s Austria. To be honest, it could have used more Alps.

An unexpected treat: Given that the musical is set just before World War II, it was interesting to see black Nazis, something Rogers and Hammerstein probably never thought would happen.

Lisa: The university is putting on a production of the "Sound of Music" this week.
Me: So... there's going to be black Nazis?
