Last year NBC did The Sound of Music to great ratings success, but it was kind of a clusterfuck, at least partially owing to an underwhelming Carrie Underwood performance. This year, we've got some more legit talent on stage: Allison Williams is Pan, Christopher Walken is Hook. My large bottle of Bacardi rum will play itself. Let us rock.

I'm not sure if I have hopes for this but I sure am curious. I couldn't stand to watch more than a few brief glimpses of the Sound of Music.

I can't understand what the children are saying at all. Also couldn't NBC afford better live cameras than what they're using?

This is gonna be great. Though the shameless nepotism is probably going to be the only memorable thing

I literally can only understand half of these kids, between soft kid voices and english accents that are insanely hammed up it's a struggle. Wendy's pretty decent though so far so that's really all that matters.

It feels so petty, especially given the logistics and pressure of a big live TV production. But it's so bad. At least I think Allison Williams is kinda killing it.

Allison is miles better than Carrie Underwood, but it's not quite there.

It worked well enough for them last year so I guess enough people will be tuning in. The singing is definitely more tolerable this year so I'll give it that. Now let's get to Walken!
