Silhouettes of Maria and the von Trapp children appear in a stitched fabric style at the bottom left. The title “The Sound of Music” is written in large, cream-colored, hand-stitched letters with a yellow edelweiss flower replacing the “O” in “Sound.” Below the title are the dates “13-18 January” in a casual handwritten font. On the bottom right, credits list the music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, and book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse.
