The Sound of Music is one of the great American theatrical productions. Sadly it was the final musical written by Rodgers and Hammerstein; Hammerstein died of cancer nine months after the Broadway premiere. The original Broadway production, starring Mary Martin and Theodore Bikel, opened on November 16, 1959. It was adapted as a 1965 film musical starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, which won five Academy Awards. The musical is based on the memoir of Maria von Trapp, The Story of the Trapp Family Singers.
Maria von Trapp died of heart failure on 28 March 1987, in Morrisville, Vermont. She outlived her husband Georg by forty years, he having died before the book, musical, and films appeared. Maria, her husband Georg, Hedwig von Trapp, and Martina von Trapp are interred in the family cemetery at the Von Trapp Lodge in Stowe, Vermont.
