Sound of Music live

[I'msoAfraid95]

If any of ya'll watched it, what was your opinion of it?

I enjoyed it. It was almost as good as the movie. Nobody beats Christopher Plumber (sp?) and Julie Andrews, imo.

I came on specifically to see if anyone had commented on this--I am curious.

it was ok the acting was not outstanding , the sound was bad a hiss though out the whole show it was ok the singing was good and I am not a fan of the movie and had never heard Carrie Underwood sing let alone knew she was an american idol winner until last night .

Based on the clips I've seen, Carrie Underwood can sing very well. She just can't act. This was sort of an awkward gig for her.

It's fair to say that her voice doesn't really have the charm of Julie Andrews', but I think the people's strongly negative reactions are a little unfair. Especially given that we are comparing a studio recording of Julie to a live performance from Carrie.

But I was never a big Sound of Music fan in the first place, so maybe I just don't get the reverence for the original version. I always thought the Von Trapps were a little creepy.

and it was based on THE BROADWAY MUSICAL version not the movie ( so some of you can untwist you panties )

Thank you for saying that, lol I've been screaming that. It was great too see this particular version on screen. Carrie was ok. The surrounding cast was way better, lol

Saw it on hulu. Horrible. Yet I still cried when Capt von Trapp's heart melts over "The Sound of Music." Then I re-watched the Julie Andrews film version--delightful.

Thanks for letting me know.I just downloaded it last night.I love Carrie Underwood's music anyway I will skim through it later.I always loved the original Julie Andrews-Christopher Plummer version.

Carrie just didn't fit the bill, honestly.

She's a fabulous singer for country/pop and even probably for more contemporary musical theatre. But for a show like this, you really need someone with a little more of a classical aire to their voice and more control over their chest/head.

She was also an absolutely AWFUL actress.

It didn't help that she was surrounded by, for the most part, well-versed broadway veterans.

NBC will do a show next year this time around and Peter Pan is tops on the list.

Who will play Peter Pan?

I love to see Stevie in place of Carrie on TSFM.

Since she's starting to enjoy acting. I think she would be great.
