The Sound of Music returns to Dutch theaters, but the lead role has not yet been fulfilled. AVROTROS, led by Frits Sissing, is looking for a leading actress Looking for Maria.
The broadcaster’s talent show can be seen on Sundays from February 21, reports The Telegraph. The search for a leading actress for the musical starts ten years after Looking for Zorro, in which television was searched for a leading actor for that play.
In the program, ten women will compete for the lead and will be judged by an as yet unannounced four-member jury. The viewer determines who in a so-called sing off have to compete not to lose weight that episode.
Looking for Zorro was the latest in a series of programs looking for musical players. In the Netherlands it started in 2007, when people searched for Evita in the musical of the same name. Brigitte Heitzer won that year. Noortje Herlaar also won the competition when Mary Poppins was searched and Freek Bartels won in Looking for Joseph.
