My wife LOVES the original movie, but refuses to watch this, and she likes Carrie Underwood. Dunno.
I'm torn...not sure if I can stomach anyone other than Julie Andrews singing these classic tunes...it's akin to Pitbull hip-hopping Metallica.
One two three four
Uno dos Call of Ktulu
I know you want me,
You know I want cha,
I know you're Bleeding Me
You know I want cha
It kind of looses that magical effect.

That must be a real quick for them to watch Sounds of Music with their kids and grand kids during the holidays..
The big show is Tonight at 8:00 PM on NBC. I give 'em credit for having the balls to produce a 3-hour prime-time network show. Being that I attending Catholic School, can I still fantasize about Julie Andrews providing me with after-hours tutoring in the convent? Hell (which is were I'm probably heading) my fantasy may as well include the Humming Nun joining us (think about it).
I saw the original movie this morning (DVD version edited a lot out compared to VHS version). Now I am curious how Tonight's play version will pan out? I also dislike "remake TV programs and movies" . I wish new original stuff that never been seen before would make a come-back. I wonder if Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer will be interviewed tomorrow?
First impression? Not bad! Ms. Underwood is certainly no Julie Andrews, but she is doing a credible job and certainly has a rather large supporting cast and an excellent story to help.
The Sound of Music (Live Production)
All I have to say is WOW!!!!
This adaptation of the stage play was better than any live TV in its heyday! This was LIVE! They were really singing LIVE! I was looking for the signs of lip synching, but I saw and heard all the tell-tale mic phasing issues that happen as a performer moves along the stage.
From the performance standpoint, there were a few minor issues, such as an annoyingly loud air handling system in the studio causing a hiss during quieter moments of dialog. But the choreography, the music, and, above all, the vocals were nothing short of ASTOUNDING for a TV production. The lighting, the sets, the technical choreography was magical!
I want to make it clear, Carrie Underwood can't act. She proved it to me tonight. She is only this side of a wooden statue as she speaks her parts. But when she starts to sing, that is a whole 'nuther kettle of fish. She has a voice that rivals our memory of Julie Andrews. The supporting cast were all just as talented.
I need to confess, I H-A-T-E the Theater. I generally despise watching plays and musicals on the stage. I find them so claustrophobic that it makes me uncomfortable. It's not for lack of trying to enjoy the plays, and it is not that I do not appreciate the beauty of what is being presented. I am just a child of the movies. Tonight's staging of this musical play for TV was almost as entertaining for me to watch as the actual production.
I can't convey in words the emotional impact this production had on me. I cannot think of ANY television production that has ever had such impact on me. Wow! Just.... Wow!
