He is well-known to discerning audiences for his longstanding television roles in Coronation Street and London’s Burning, and Olivier-Award nominated Steven has taken on leading roles in Spend Spend Spend, Blood Brothers, White Christmas, Martin Guerre and Grease.

The unforgettable score from the world’s most successful musical features the legendary melodies and lyrics of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, such as Edelweiss, Do-Re-Mi, Climb Ev’ry Mountain, So Long, Farewell, and of course, title song, The Sound of Music.

Based on the true story of the Trapp Family Singers and Baroness Maria von Trapp’s 1949 autobiography, The Sound of Music recounts Maria and the Captain’s romance and their escape to freedom as Austria becomes part of the Third Reich at the beginning of WWII.
