The Sound of Music LIVE ITV — Page 2

Cause maybe it has no scarecrows or flying faries.

Don't be silly. The reason I don't care for "The Sound of Music" is because it is overly-saccharine, cloying and maudlin.

What about the snooze fest that was on last week? When the Wiz began I thought we were in for a good plot and Stephanie Mills sang beautifully. But when Dorothy moved to the garden of elves. ahhhh!! The Sound of Music is actually a very good show based on a true story.

That being said, I do not believe we are ever going to break away from fairy-tales on NBC. But at least Fox and other channels are on board so maybe we will get West Side Story, In the Heights and more interesting titles.

Also in England the Sound of Music show is much more popular than in the USA. Just six years ago the show was playing at the London Palladium to great critical acclaim. It was extremely hard to get a thicket when the show opened. I do hope that ITV will continue bringing live theatre

With all due respect Danster you are entitled to your opinion, but if you don't mind I am still sticking to mine. "The Sound of Music" is in my opinion overly saccharine, cloying and maudlin. I've never cared for it and I never will.

If you do not like sound of music I cannot understand why you are wasting precious time typing messages in a thread about a show that is being done on the other side of the globe. Cleary your intentions are to attack people who preferred another performance than the one you liked, and because someone dared to complain you are ready to attack. Need I remind you that this is called cyber bulling and I am not afraid to get this step further by putting abuse reports, as this is where all these arguments are leading us. To Musicaljen need I remind you that the Mother Abbess is also African American and there was no need for such a remark, even tough The Wiz was greatly attacked because its coming from their heritage.

I am taking action right away about this.

Heifertittties, you are a cyber bully.

You need help, babygirl.

You're obviously itching for a fight with someone but I'm hereby putting you on notice that it's not going to be me.

I will leave you with this thought:

So I am opting out of letting you drag me down to your level.

Wow, Greg King... you're really bringing out the big guns there.

The best line reading is still in the original:

Damn.

Can't fault the set. Looks beautiful.

Those saccharine Nazis will get you every time.
