The Sound of Music Live!
Watch TrailerThe Sound of Music Live! is a television special that was originally broadcast by NBC on December 5, 2013. Produced by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, the special was an adaptation of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Broadway musical The Sound of Music, starring country singer Carrie Underwood as Maria von Trapp, performed and televised live from Grumman Studios in Bethpage, New York. Meron felt that if the telecast were successful, the concept could become "another kind of entertainment that can exist on TV." By her request, Underwood's casting as Maria was personally endorsed by Julie Andrews, who starred in the 1965 film.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
This production constructs its appeal on the immediacy of live performance, relying on the timeless strength of Rodgers and Hammerstein's score. It works with the television format to create a shared viewing event, exploring the challenge of translating stage energy directly to the home screen.
What lingers after the final curtain call is the charm of a collective experience and the joy of classic songs delivered with sincerity. It's a festive experiment in bringing theater into the living room. — MovieFinder Editorial
