The Sound of Music, born on Broadway in 1959 has since become the stuff of skits and slams, as well as reverence and audience sing-alongs, a 1950s anthem to the carefree heart. Think of the songs “16 Going on 17” and “Do-Re-Mi.”
In the beginning, sort of, there was The Da Vinci Code (no, actually, it was Edgar Saltus' 1891 Mary Magdalene: a Chronicle or even the Gospel of Luke), then came John Adams' The Gospel According to the Other Mary.
