CBC's How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria? concludes tonight at 8 p.m. when either Elicia Mackenzie of Vancouver or Janna Polzin of Woodstock will be chosen by the public—over 650,000 Canadians—to spend October as the star of The Sound of Music, yodelling in the Princess of Wales theatre.

If you can complete that lyric, then you need to be at the Royal Cinema next Tuesday to unabashedly sing along to a special screening of The Sound of Music. The CBC is hosting the event to celebrate next weekend's debut of How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?, the new series that seeks to cast the lead role of Maria von Trapp in the upcoming staging of The Sound of Music, produced by David Mirvish, David Ian, and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Gavin Crawford, comedian and host of the series, will emcee the evening, and will be joined by the von Trapp great-grandchildren—Justin, Amanda, Melanie and Sofia—who will distribute theatrical props to the audience at key moments. If it's even possible to forget the lyrics to such a ubiquitous classic, subtitles will keep you on cue.
