Laura's reaction when she hears that Maria is going to be a nun - priceless.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

What's pissing me off are all the folks on the webz who think this is a remake of the movie version and the movie was the original version.

Carrie is a low key, and not a "varied" actress. She just delivers the lines plain a simple, but there is still a basic sincerity in her approach that keeps me engaged. Her voice is great. I love hearing the songs belted the way Mary Martin did them originally. (No body mics back then, people.)
And the last scene she just did with the captain, right before the kids sang The Sound of Music, actually brought a tear to my eye. Everyone in that scene was good.
As for the others, Audra is just wonderful as the Mother Superior. And Borle and Benanti are terrific. I love hearing their songs. The kids are all good, and I think the sets are great, too.
Overall, I'm just happy that something like this is even being attempted. Is it perfect? Far from it. But it's still entertaining, and there are so many things to enjoy about it.

Yes, please let's keep complaining about a multi-million dollar broadcast exposing the beauty of musical theatre to a brand-new audience on a national stage. God, many of you are too cynical for your own good. We should be supportive of this endeavor while offering constructive criticism; not snarky Bitching.
Kathy - I completely agree. I'm kind of in love with Marta. She is TOO MUCH!

She'll become a woman when Audra tells her to Climb Ev'ry Mountain.

I know she's a kid, I'm sorry, but the actress who's Marta is bad. She's trying way too hard to be clear.

You know The Sound of Music isn't a true story, right?
Yeah, it is.

Jesus Christ. Sutton, are you kidding? It's based on the memoir of the real Maria von Trapp.

It most certainly is. The Von Trapps ended up in Vermont. It's actually a lovely story.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Laura just broke my heart... I shouldn't sympathize with Elsa this much.
Also, the smolder Stephen Moyer made during the dance was hilarious.
Christian Borle just slipped into an Irish accent.
