Doug Elkins and Friends' dance piece "Fräulein Maria" performed at Jacob's Pillow in 2012.
"sweet, hilarious, beautifully constructed take on The Sound of Music" The Village Voice
Fräulein Maria is an astute and uproarious production adored by dance novices and experts alike. A marvelous deconstruction of Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical The Sound of Music, this award-winning dance work was performed to the complete film score, with favorites such as "My Favorite Things," "The Lonely Goatherd," and "Climb Ev'ry Mountain."
Ballet, hip- hop, and modern dance merge with intelligent humor and cheeky theatricality. The Boston Globe comments, "The icing on the cake is the depth and range of the choreography... and his dancers are spectacular." The New York Times calls Fräulein Maria a "mini-masterpiece of a certain kind, encompassing everything that is brilliant about Mr. Elkins's choreography."
