We are a big fan of Sound of Music and actually went to a play in Salzburg in 2012 that was in German. This event was a lot of fun. I especially like the props that were used.

My parents took us to see the Sound of Music when it first came out in 1965. I was 12 and have loved it ever since. Once I found out about the sing along I always wanted to go. We made it this year. My wife and I dressed up (she as Maria & I was Uncle Max). This event is a must for any serious Sound of Music fan!!!

The whole evening was very enjoyable. From the pre-show costume contest, to the free "interactive item" bags, this is the best way to watch TSOM. Next year I am bringing my flashlight.

This was one of the most fun things I've ever done in Atlanta! In a room full of Sound of Music enthusiasts, it was a pure delight to lift our voices together in song. The included props were wonderful. All around, it was a fabulous, family-friendly event. I would do it again tomorrow if I could.

Loved the sing-a-long component -- so much fun to have the subtitles and a rowdy audience. The MC spent too long giving the "rules" of the event and the costume contest was cute but should be limited to first 25/50 participants to arrive. A 3-hour movie is exceptionally long and the pre-show events dragged too much. I would definitely attend again but would love for the pre-show actiites to be modified.

FUN, FUN, FUN.....I had a great time dancing and singing through the Alps. Great time for the entire family. The costume contest was an added bonus. The way you want to watch the movie but your family and friends won't let you. Go for it!!! Loved seeing the move on such a large screen.

The Sound of Music Sing-a-Long was awesome! My family, friends and I had a great time! We truly enjoyed singing along with the movie and participating/observing the crowd participation. There were great costumes and we enjoyed our 'prop'bag immensely. My only criticisim would be the length of parade/instructions. We were expecting to be home by 4:30-5p and didn't leave until well after 6p. Perhaps I didn't look at all the details, but I had no idea we would be there so long. Maybe the parade could be before the movie start time and those who want to watch/participate can choose to do so themselves.

This was my second attendance to the Sing-a-long, and will likely be my last. From the hostess, Melissa Peterman, to the intoxicated crowd, this event changed a family, friendly, PG movie to a rated-R porn show. The crowd was encouraged to make "cat-calls" toward Captain Von Trapp and the ladies around me encouraged the Captain to "give Maria the tongue." Melissa Peterman was a disgrace. The foul language was completely inappropriate. What a disappointment!

We had a great time at the sing-a-long -- where else do you get to sing all those favorite songs with 17,000 other people? (And not get yelled at for singing along during a movie?) The picture and sound quality of the movie is excellent at the Bowl. I do wish that the pre-show was shorter -- we purposefully missed the first half hour or so of the show, and it still got tiresome by the end. The costumes are fun to look at, but I really did not need to hear an interview with every person in costume. The movie didn't start until after 8:15 pm, which made for a really long evening (movie ending at 11:30 pm)-- and then it took us almost half an hour to get from our seats to our shuttle. It would be good if there were Park-n-ride shuttles offered to the Bowl later in the day to arrive in time for the movie (rather than the show). That said, we had a fun evening, and we would consider doing it again.

Wife and I went expecting just to sing along, then we saw the costume contest, the host was wonderful and the place was packed. When everyone started singing along to The Sound of Music and yelling for the captain, my wife was hooked! The audience participation is beyond fun and we are planning on bringing the kids next year. Plus, It's the Hollywood Bowl. A great place to see a show.

It was so nice to see this beautiful movie on the big screen again. As a child I looked forward for when it would rerun on the theaters. The venue was packed, people singing joyfully and a new generation being exposed to the glorious views, sounds and acting of the best, timeless actors such as Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. I left so happy, and looking forward to next year :-)

My first time to this sing a long so wasn't sure what to expect. By far, the most fun I have had in a long time. The crowd was just as entertaining as the movie. The crowd consisted of groups of all adults, families, men, women, children, teenagers, etc. This is definitely for any age group. Highly recommend!

Overall really fun. Wish I had come into the bowl earlier. Only caught some of the pre show and it was hysterical. Melissa Peterman was a great host and the costumes were great. My only 2 comments on what I wish to see Improved if I go back again, some directions in the gift bags handed out, otherwise that was great. And please use the small screens. I understand if the movie can only be projected on the big screen but could have used the small screens for produced content. At least to show the words to the songs. Otherwise great and I'd definitely go again.

It was our first time...we couldn't believe how much fun we had. Melissa Peterman was a great hostess, though the pre-show dragged a bit due to the large volume of costume-clad guests. That part was MUCH too long. I hadn't realized they would have the words to the songs on the movie - so the crowd could truly sing-a-long. It was a beautiful night at the Bowl! We would go again and bring others, but not for the entire pre-show.

Sound of Music was an evening of fun, where the hills of Hollywood meet the Hills of Austria in Song. In these hectic times, it is such a great thing to step off the planet for a minute and just enjoy a laugh and a care-free evening with what feels like an audience of friends. The emcee of the show is marvelous and witty. I love this event and this venue.

Little more than projecting the film, with and endless parade of badly dressed up fans (called pre-show). For 3 to 10 times worth a theater's ticket, it's absolutely not worth the time neither the money.

I knew about this event and finally decided to go. Well, it by far exceeded all of my expectations!!! I rank it up there with the best entertainment I've ever experienced. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time, and I was awed by how many people love the movie as much as I. I LOVED all of the costumes, both obvious and creative. I loved all of the added sound effects that other attendees brought along.....cowbells, etc. It was just so much fun and will definitely be on my list for next year!!!

Absolutely wonderful. The parade needs to be better organized. People should be weeded out in the beginning because time gets wasted on costumes that required no thought and effort and people who really tried dont get a chance because the time runs out.

Fun doesn't completely describe the sing-a-long sound of music. Beyond fun, maybe. The movie is endearing and almost timeless, but the real show is the pre-show and the costumes. This is a great family evening!

The night was amazing. Truly the only way to watch the Sound of Music. Everyone gets so into it singing and booing or hissing or clapping and cheering depending on who goes on screen and what is happening. Make sure that you come early or you won't get the props to use during the movie. They handed them out from 4 to 5. If you come after 5, ask one of the ushers if there are any left and where they are. The movie is more fun when you can interact with it. Oh and know that only the screen on the stage is on during the movie unlike during concerts when the 4 side screens are on. Take the time to plan a picnic rather than just picking up subway or something.

So much fun for the whole family. Goodie bags should be given to adults only, as children under 16 were holding poppers straight forward into the ears of guests ahead. Poor adult supervision resulted in tons of profanity and screaming , in my section :( The shuttle to the Hollywood Bowl has been so prompt and organized, so nicely done!!!

So how often does one get to watch Sound of Music on the big screen? That in itself was a treat! The hostess, dressed as a nun, was hilarious and prepared us for the event with great enthusiasm. The audience participated wholeheartedly, however I was disappointed that not more folks dressed in costume. For those of us who did (von Trapp children, nuns, alpine lads and lassies), more recognition and a costume "contest" would have been appreciated! Time should have been allotted for that. But all in all it was a fun experience!

A group of us went to the Sound of Music Sing-a-long. We enjoyed the movie and the chance to sing along. It was a fun evening with the girls. However, the pre-show was terrible. We could not find any information on what the preview was, so we thought it was the sing along. Wrong. The comedienne was terrible!! None of us or anyone around us liked her at all and she was not on theme with her costume or bad jokes. The costume parade was way too long. She continued her chatter with the kids past the time the movie was scheduled to start. She should not be brought back. Advertisements for the event should state clearly what the pre-show is - is has nothing to do with the sing-a-long.

Great event! My friends and I had a picnic just outside of the entrance and went inside around 7ish. We made it to our sits right when the movie started, which means we missed the pre-show, but that's ok because we got our wine-on instead. I love how everyone was so into the singing and the plot. I will be back next year!

If you love The Sound of Music and love to sing tgis is the event for you. This is the 4th year I've attended and everytime I am so glad I did! The bowl is a great venue anyway and with everyone singing out in the open its a real treat. Edelweiss is my personal favorite, when everyone holds up their cell phone illuminating the open air theater. If you have never seen the movie, you would want to watch it first, as most of us have seen it many times, and you may not catch all the dialogue as many audience members speak along, or make funny comments. The costume contest during the preshow is also entertaining!

Unfortunately, my son and I were surrounded by inebriated assholes. I had a hard time hearing the dialogue. I realize the event was a sing a long, but the dialogue was important also. The people behind us kept dropping their wine bottle and the wine dripped down and made a mess where I was sitting. The people in front kept yelling at the screen. In hindsight, I wish I would have found an usher and asked to be moved. Next time, I will do that. We love going to the Hollywood Bowl. We always have a good time.

Venue: First time at the Hollywood Bowl, and section P1 and P2 had great views of the stage. Everyone brings their picnic baskets and either finds a table around the perimeter of the stadium, or eats at their seats. Very laid-back atmosphere. Show: This was such a fun event if you're a fan of the movie and know all the songs! You are given a bag of accoutrements to aid in community participation, so it's not just all about singing. Crowd: All ages were present, and everyone was patient with entering and exiting with such a large crowd. We took the bus from Westchester which is highly recommended, however, the instructions to get back to the bus after the show was not very clear. Since there are so many buses that go to different locations, many bus patrons were lost, trying to find the correct one.

This is a great family show. The parade was entertaining and costumes very clever. Melissa Robertson was a fun host and funny too. The interactive singalong was great .

LOVED singing along to this classic movie. Unfortunately, the drunk guy behind us who thought he was hilarious by out-singing everyone else around him very badly (on purpose) ruined the evening. His incessant talking, which was at times inappropriate considering the children around us, didn't help matters either. We tried to politely ask him and his party to quiet down which didn't work. Then we requested the assistance of the usher which also didn't help (because the obnoxious guy would quiet down as soon as the usher approached our area). Wish there was a way to text security for problem people like this guy. I understand that with this type of performance the audience is expected to interact with the movie. But, this drunken idiot's behavior really crossed the line into obnoxious annoyance. Such a shame\u2026 my party was really enjoying the evening until the idiot completely ruined it. Not sure how this can be fixed.

This sing-a-long was fun and lively and the host Melissa Peterson was hilarious!

Sound of Music is my all time favorite movie, so It's no surprise that I chose this event to celebrate my 50th birthday! It was a lifetime highlight... I invited friends and family that had never seen the movie AND had never been to the Hollywood Bowl and they loved everything about the night... including my teenage kids! This will be an annual family pilgrimage...

We took foreign visitors to the Bowl, and I suppose it was our fault not to fully investigate the program, but we were surprised that there was no live orchestra playing the music. We were disappointed to learn we paid $50 per ticket to see a film.

This was my first time going to the Hollywood Bowl sing-a-long, and I loved every minute of it. From the costume contest, to the goodie bag of edelweiss and firecrackers, to the sound effects we made during the movie, it was all an amazing and unforgettable experience. I am hoping to make it a family tradition every few years. Definitely recommend it to any fan of the show!

This was an absolute blast! From watching all the people dressed in costumes, to waving Edelweiss and hissing at the Baroness, this was a fun song-filled evening. Loved that the words were on the screen for all the songs. And was thrilled by the bonus of two of the actresses from the movie beign there, Angela Cartwright being one of them.

The sing-along was so much fun. The crowd was hilarious and super hyped. I only wish the gift baggy of props was more interesting.

I attend this event every year. It provides a wholesome entertainment for the whole family. There were grandparents taking their Grand kids here for the costume contest as well as college kids having a great time. It's entertainment for everyone. Love it.

This is fun for the family! Bring props such as: flashlights, party poppers, white flowers, whistles, bells, etc. This makes the experience much more fun as you interact with the movie. Or, you can pick up a goodie bag with some supplies to use. Get your voice in tune...every one sings every song! It is something you will not forget and may want to experience it again and again.

Drunk and nasty people seated around us - not a family affair. Saw a man hassle a woman holding a little kid - she bumped into him while she hurrying out and he accused her of "pushing" him. It was upsetting for everyone. And thought there would be some level of live music at this event - but it was only a screening of a movie.

We were 1st timers to this annual event. It wasn't what we expected; it was much better! The singalong aspect was fun; the hilarious audience participation was even better. (The surprises were part of the fun - no spoilers here!) Although it wasn't predominantly families with kids, my three year old came along with me, my husband and his grandparents and he LOVED it. The only downside to the venue is the parking situation. We parked a long walk off site so (after the walk) were able to get out pretty quickly. If you park right at the venue you're in for a lot of waiting in the queues in the lots.

A great night of family entertainment, I would highly recommend this to fans of the movie, which is a classic. The Bowl is always a good time and this sing-a-long was a lot of fun and expect we will return for this one again.

It was our 3rd time to see it, and we loved it. This time we brought our daughter and two grandchildren. My ONLY complaint is that the costume contest/parade goes on WAY too long. I would go every year if I could skip that contest. But since we get there via Park and Ride, and since Park and Ride views 6 pm as the start of the event (which is the start of the costume contest, the movie itself doesn't start till about 7:30), the last buses leave in time to get you there for 6 pm (in our case, the last bus got us there by 5:30, so we had two hours to kill, and the costumer contest was just not the way to kill those two hours). The movie/singalong/banter by Melissa was just great.

We had a total blast at the Sound of Music sing-a-long. Just imagine a more cultured version of the Rocky Horror Picture show, with audience members ringing a cow bell when the nuns suggest putting a cow bell on Maria to find her in the future, or blowing a whistle when Baron Von Trapp summons his children. =) They gave us all bags filled with "fun" so we could pop streamers at key moments and hold up curtains when Maria is pondering how to make the kids play clothes. My only gripe was the introduction. 100 minutes of "look at the costumes!" was a bit much, and I was a bit uncomfortable with all of the sexual innuendo jokes made by the presenter when this was obviously a family event. I realize that it's nice to see all the costumes, but do we really have to see each and every costume? Is the "slutty nun" costume family appropriate? Other than that, it was a great event. Food, family, and fun. What more could you ask for?

Went to the Hollywood Bowl for a great picnic and some hilarious times. Sound of Music Sing-a-long did not disappoint. My BF, my sister, and I loved catching the end of the comedic "pre-show" then the movie started and I could barely breathe I was laughing so hard with audience "participation." I was surprised how much I still love this movie and it was a blast enjoying it under the stars with a packed house singing, goofing, and having fun.

The sound of music is one of my very favorite movies. So a sing along just seemed right up my alley. I have never been to the Hollywood bowl and the venue is amazing! Love being outdoor in the cool airy night singing tunes to a classic movie.

I have been going to the sing alongs at the Hollywood Bowl for years. They are campy and cheesy but super fun!!! Go and let loose and don't take yourself too seriously as you are belting out tunes with thousands of other people!

This was so much fun - I loved it! Something about singing Edelweiss with a huge crowd in person and the people at the festival in Salzburg was just magical. I'll definitely be back again. However, the organist who played during the costume contest at the beginning needed much better amplification; only the occasional note could be heard.

This event was a fantastic evening for all! A modern day precursor of the Rocky Horror Picture Show . Very festive audience participation.

Loved the preshow, loved the ambiance, loved the music, loved the film. Magical to be at the Hollywood Bowl for this Singalong. We understand why it has become an LA classic. Fun for families, but plenty of adult parties going on too! Our 8 and 10 year old loved it but the fun 30 somethings next to us also had a blast.
