Janna Polzin, Elicia MacKenzie and Jayme Armstrong are the three women left “How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?” which sees performers competing for a chance to play Maria von Trapp in the upcoming Toronto production of "The Sound of Music".
The CBC reality T.V. contest is co-produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber, who also worked on the original BBC contest of the same name.
The three women will perform next Sunday with the one receiving the most viewers’ votes a guaranteed spot in the top 2. The two remaining finalists will perform an elimination duet and Webber will eliminate one of them. The two remaining Marias, the voter’s choice and Webber’s, will then sing for the nation’s vote.
"People forget that 'The Sound of Music' is a daring show," Webber told CBC News. He believes the performer who lands the role will be launched into stardom. "The Sound of Music" will make its Toronto debut at Princess of Wales Theatre on October 3.
