NBR: Who is watching The Sound of Music tonight?

OMG I'm so excited!  I'm starting Wes's bedtime early to make sure my ass is parked with snack and wine at 8PM.

  • I really don't care either way but I'm intrigued by the thing being live so I may record it.

  • I might have to record it, but I am definitely watching it.  I adore the Sound of Music!

  • Definitely!  It's my favorite movie.  We don't have TV so I'm going to my mom's to watch it and having dinner with her and a friend of hers.  I will admit, I'm a little scared of Carrie Underwood ruining it though...

  • Not me.  I don't think it needs to be remade.  We're probably going to have football on instead.

  • I'll be DVRing it tonight-I have choir from 7-9 and then I'm hitting the gym for a bit. A live performance will be interesting

    I agree, I don't think anyone but Julie Andrews could be Maria, but I love it so much I just have to give it a try!

    I will hate (secret love) watch it!!  I'm going to drink everytime one of the kids makes a mistake on live television.  Here is a list of props if you want to have a Sing-a-long Party while you watch tonight. 
  • We are. It's Casey's favorite musical, and I'm excited to see how they tweak it.

    Also, I was watching the making of special and it took me almost the entire hour of watching before I realized that was Vampire Bill. I felt like a dumbass.

  • I kinda hate TSoM!  ::ducks::  My HS performed the musical when I was a Soph.  My sister was a Sr & she was Maria (I was a nun!  lol!).  4-ish months of being surrounded by TSoM was enough for me.

    PLUS!  I don't like that they are remaking it.  Julie Andrews *is* Maria.

  • I hate The Sound of Music.  I don't even care who does it, I still won't watch it.  I'm a freak.

  • I'm super excited for this, but I DVR'd it so I can watch it at my leisure and fast-forward through the commercials.

    I wrote this! 
  • Julie Andrews will forever be Maria at age 30. Or whatever age she was when it was filmed.  I want to cry now that she's getting older.

  • Confession - I've never seen the original Sound of Music.  Not quite sure how that is possible since I'm a musical junkie and have sang my entire life.

  •  I have volleyball from 7-10 tonight, so I won't be home.  :(  I wish I had DVR, though, because I really am curious about it.  I love TSoM.  But I agree with SnShne, Maria will forever and always be Julie Andrews at age 30 or whatever she was.  And I really don't care for Carrie Underwood.

    I'm not sure we can be friends anymore. This is devastating.

  • It would never even occur to me to watch this. And I love musicals.

  • My plan as of right now is to DVR it and see people's reactions before I watch it. I love The Sound of Music and I like that this might introduce it to a whole new generation but Carrie is no Julie Andrews, I'm so torn  :((

  • I wish I could watch it but I have class from 6-9 tonight and we don't have cable (we tried getting the free stations but the altitude we live at is too low) or therefore a DVR....*sigh*....
  • I'm going to at least try to watch it. I think the casting (Carrie and Vampire Bill) is terrible, so I mostly want to see if it's going to be as bad as I think it will be.

  • DVRing to watch if the general reviews are positive. I love the casting of Mother Superior so am tempted to watch just to hear her sing.

  • I love The Sound of Music but can't imagine it with a different cast and am afraid it will be bad.  It isn't that I dislike the people, but no one can measure up to the original cast!  I'll probably DVR it and watch it later so I can skip the commercials.
