Maplewood Boy Stars in Sound of Music

Maplewood Boy Stars in Sound of Music

MMS student Hunter Kovacs will play Kurt von Trapp at Paper Mill Playhouse, located in Millburn, NJ.

There must be something in the water at Maplewood Middle School.

First, it was local girl made good Beatrice Miller, who is rising to the top on The X Factor.

Now we have Miller's schoolmate, Hunter Kovacs, an MMS 7th-grader who will soon be seen as Kurt von Trapp in the revival of The Sound of Music at the Paper Mill Playhouse.

Hunter, who has spent all of his 13 years in Maplewood (his birthday was on Tuesday), lives with his parents, Mark and Nancy, and his brothers, Jared and Cole.

Hunter got the part after competing against 400 other boys in an open call audition. "After two callbacks and four days of waiting, we finally got the call that Hunter had been chosen to portray Kurt von Trapp," said Nancy. "To quote Hunter, 'It is awesome!'"

He started rehearsals last weekend. The show opens on November 23 and runs through December 30.
