So, I so do not usually just watch TV. I am usually working on the computer, knitting, doing a puzzle, or even doing chores around the house. So, when NBC broadcast "The Sound of Music" http://www.nbc.com/sound-of-music/ live, on Thursday night, I sat and watched the musical. Without doing anything else.
This was a great presentation. I really enjoyed it.
I will remark that I had heard a Carrie Underwood interview, that there were some new songs. Well she was not quite right. The "new" songs she referred to were songs from the original Broadway production that were not included in the movie, so might be unknown to folks who do not have the music of the original Broadway production.
Frankly, the songs from the play, deleted for the movie, make the show much more politically relevant regarding the role of the wealthy and the impact of the Germans in Austria after the Anschluss, or the take over by Germany of Austria.
No matter, the live production of this show was GREAT!
