Johannes von Trapp's mother, Maria, portrayed in the original Sound of Music by Julie Andrews, was a "much more complex person, a more extreme person" than appears in the musical. "She was the sort of person who when she walked into a room, everyone stopped talking and looked at her." Johannes' revelation was in The New YorkTimes on the eve of the show's first Broadway opening since 1959. Johannes was one of three children born to Maria Augusta Kutschera and Baron Von Trapp, and the only one born in America. The other seven children were born to the Baron's first wife, Agathe Whitehead. The Times gave the Broadway revival a good review.
