So it turns out the show should have been called HOW DO YOU SOLVE A PROBLEM LIKE VON TRAPP?

Simon Shepherd has withdrawn from "The Sound of Music".

A statement on behalf of the production said "Following the first two previews of The Sound of Music at the London Palladium on Friday 3 and Saturday 4 November, Simon Shepherd, director Jeremy Sams and producers Andrew Lloyd Webber and David Ian agreed that his performance as Captain Von Trapp was not working within the production and therefore he has withdrawn from the show".

My m8 Andrew has the best story ever about Mr. Shepherd's casting but being aware of our libel laws I shall refrain from posting it here.
