News about Gina Beck

Since a warning to audiences that the musical touches on 'Nazi Germany and Austria's annexation have been criticized, a new theatre performance of The Sound of Music has been criticized. Any of them, according to attendees of Chichester Festival, where the revival of the event will begin next week,'may find certain themes distressing.' The theatre performance, starring West End actress Gina Beck (pictured left) in the role of Maria von Trapp, will run from July 10 to September 3. Maria, a young nun sent to be a governess to the von Trapp children in Austria right before the Second World War, is the subject of the musical.
