The Sound Of Music Live

[Maydup]

Anyone watching it with me? Live on ITV now, I'm LOVING it!

[shoota]

Capt Von Trapps tailor ought to be shot - that white suit is appalling. Just look at the gathers on the shoulders...

[Islay]

They are missing lines - there was a bit missing from the speech she gave about the children and it was a funny line to show the captain's personality!

[netibiza]

Yes me too, am so enjoying it and singing my heart out with it.

[netibiza]

Missed out the song I have confidence which is my favourite and surely they sang My favourite things in the storm?

[Netty7]

Brilliant!

[tiggerblue10]

Being one of very few people on this planet that have never seen the film, I think its brilliant. And considering its live the actors are doing a fantastic job.

[chrissa1]

These actors do live performances night after night, in the theatre so, it's not such a big deal for them. The audience is a tad bigger though. Lol.

It's not meant to be sticking to the film religiously. (No pun intended). I'm enjoying it.

[Maydup]

Its a triumph indeed; new songs, old songs and a brilliant cast.

[jno]

it wasn't a film originally anyway. Maybe they've gone back to the original stage version.

[netibiza]

I loved it. Have been out on the patio singing Climb every mountain til Mr N thought the poor Spanish neighbours had had enough. Very uplifting!

[shoota]

The suit spoiled it for me....

[Maydup]

I could watch it again! Fantastic television which makes a change.

[jennyjoan]

Errrrrrrrrrrrr - how can it be LIVE - there has to be preparations surely.


No, nothing would ever convince me over the ORIGINAL - Julie Andrews and Co. Nothing.

Sorry - no atmosphere - no ambience - no, I kept watching it - I think GOH - Grand Opera House would have more ambience. Very definitely

[jennyjoan]

I found it cringey - OMG - let the Sound of Music belong to Julie - please.

[THECORBYLOON]

Live means broadcast as it is happening and not pre-recorded.

[jennyjoan]

Tiggerblue - how do you know that you are one of the few who watched it - if you never watched - what are you - one in a thousand or one in a billion

[THECORBYLOON]

I am sure TIGGERBLUE was not being literal.

[Maydup]

Oh no, i disagree. Julie Andrews played the part in the film, but it doesn't mean we can't enjoy other Marias and new versions of the muiscal. This ITV production was a masterclass in musical theatre and proof that modern actors, often known only for acting in soaps, are talented and versatile.

[Baldric]

According to Radio Times it is live with a follow up programme tomorrow at 20:00hrs about how it was made.
For the record I would rather stick pins in my eyes than watch it.

[bibblebub]

Julia Andrews wasn't the original - Mary Martin starred in the original production on Broadway
