Having started in the UK back in 1999, the Sing-a-Long-a Sound of Music show has now become a worldwide hit, playing to packed houses across the globe. It's even filled the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and now it returns to Hall for Cornwall.

Let's start at the very beginning (a very good place to start).

For those of you not yet converted, Sing-a-Long-a Sound of Music is a screening of the classic Julie Andrews film musical in glorious, full-screen Technicolor, complete with subtitles so that the whole audience can sing along.

The fun-filled show starts with a vocal warm-up led by the evening's host, who also takes the audience through their complimentary "magic moments pack", containing various props to be used at strategic points throughout the film.

Then, of course, there is the famous fancy-dress competition in which everyone who has come in costume is invited on to the stage to show off their fantastic tailoring skills. And the more venues the show plays, the more elaborate the costumes get. Previous entries have included: Nuns of both genders (including a pregnant nun) Girls (and boys) in white dresses with blue satin sashes A plumber (as in Christopher 'Plumber') A lonely goatherd Fancy dress is not obligatory but highly recommended!

The hilarious evening starts at 7pm on Thursday, February 8. Tickets are £10 to £13.50 with a 75p Theatre Fund payment on each ticket sold. Contact the Box Office on 01872 262466.
