# “The Sound of Music” Tour Company 2025 Visits the Library of Congress

The National Tour of “The Sound of Music” joined the Library of Congress for a look at historic and rare items in the Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II collections and more. Music specialist Caitlin Miller and colleagues provided a unique opportunity for the company members to view and hear stories behind the curated selection of music and lyric sketches, personal correspondence, photographs and production designs, all of which provide a deeper understanding of the creative process behind one of American musical theater’s most beloved shows. Across these collections, Tour members could see the full creative process and perhaps pull inspiration from the pages of Rodgers and Hammerstein with each performance.
