If you're planning to see "The Sound of Music" while the musical is at Fox Theatre, you may recognize a few of the costumes.

Songs such as "My Favorite Things" from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical are iconic, but the costumes from the 1965 movie staring Julie Andrews are pretty memorable, too.

Paige Silvester, who plays the eldest von Trapp sibling, Liesl, in the production, took the AJC backstage as the tour crew set up for opening night on March 1. 
From a dress made out of curtains to Liesel's festival attire, the costumes are sure to look familiar to "The Sound of Music" fans.
Watch as Silvester shows off a few of her favorite costumes, which were designed by Jane Greenwood, in the above video.
Also, be sure to read our interview with the show's musical supervisor and the actress who plays Maria von Trapp to find out how this production might be different from other popular versions of "The Sound of Music."
