THE SOUND OF MUSIC

Chanhassen Dinner Theatres (Chanhassen MN), Paper Mill Playhouse (Millburn, NJ)

Next Show
"Norah Long has made us forget all about Julie Andrews." – Minnesota Monthly Magazine
"Norah Long brings a feisty and playful Maria to life. She is more coltish than Julie Andrews, but her Maria laughs with more zest and spunk. There's also a vulnerability in Long's portrayal -- one that tugs tears when Maria's heart is broken and provokes cheers when she triumphs." – Graydon Royce, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Picture
"Very good theater.  Some real thought and emotional spadework has been put into the leading roles. Long plays Maria with an earthy, slightly tomboyish feistiness. This is a different character than we know from the movie -- and all the more interesting for her differentness." 
– Dominic P. Papatola, St. Paul Pioneer Press

                "As Maria in The Sound of Music, Norah Long has made us forget all about Julie Andrews."
                                                                                                   – Sarah Tieck, Minnesota Monthly Magazine

"Norah Long is a peerless Maria. Her song renditions are flowing and flawless.
  She is simply superb in the role."  – Lakeshore Weekly, Suzanne P. Campbell
