I was googling to try and find something and I came across this plot summary which has just enough errors to be delicious:
Overview: This musical takes place early on in World War II Austria, before the Nazis invaded. Maria is a nun-in-training, but doesn’t quite fit in with the others. She is more free spirited, but not lacking faith. Mother Superior, deciders to send her off to the von Trapp family as a nanny for seven children. The father is a hard nosed military widow (who is against Hitler), who pays little attention to them but wants them brought up in a way befitting to an Admiral.
As Maria is the latest in a long line of nannies, the children show their contempt for her and do what they can to get rid of her. Maria sees this as a cry for attention from their father and does what she can to show them love and kindness. Ultimately she finds out that before their mother died, the father used to sing and music was everywhere, so she taught them how.
When Georg, the father, returns from a summer in Berlin with a potential wife-to-be in tow, Maria has them performing songs and a puppet show for them. Slowly Georg and Maria fall in love, but because of her faith she tries to leave and per sue her vows as a nun. The children become miserable in her absence and the father decides to go after her. Once married, they are wrangled into a singing competition the night Nazis invade. Using the competition as an escape, they perform a beautiful song and disappear into the night with the aid of some wiley nuns.
