I've been so busy with Christmas ....that I barely sit down too long much less have time to come "home" here to chat.
I did make sure though that everyone knew that I was going to watch The Sound of Music last Thursday night.
I had heard ahead of the live show time that this show was not going to mirror the movie, but, would be like the stage show...which I was fortunate to see when I was very young...in New York.
I also heard that a lot of theater people were not at all happy that a country singer, Carrie Underwood was playing Maria..
I loved the show. Loved it. Sang with Carrie, and just marveled how they transitioned scenes and did it all in live time.
I had even heard that because of the soundstage area being as big as several football fields ...to accommodate all the great scenery that the actors had to take golf carts during commercials to get to the right set.
I think they did a terrific job and I applaud them. I enjoyed every minute of the 3 hour show.
Did anyone else watch? What did you think?
Sadly, I just saw this article...
