As skeptical as I am about this, I will say: the Rodgers & Hammerstein organization is fiercely protective over the R&H catalogue, so I would venture to guess Underwood had to audition to get estate approval before they allowed her to be cast in this.


Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

I am a huge fan of Underwood. And after watching that video I think she will do a very job. Her acting was also great in 'Soul Surfer'.

Instead of the Ländler, I hope Maria teaches the kids the Hoedown Throwdown.

I love Carrie, and if she can get ahold of her twang, she may be okay.

That vid that Robbie posted was kind of lovely, but girl needs to phrase that song better! She takes a breath after every word!

(I hope I didnt titillate anyone with the phrase "get ahold of her twang".)

Can she PLEASE do 'Favorite Things' mashup with 'Before He Cheats?" pretty please
-----

Shania Twain CDs and warm woolen mittens,
Bleach blond and gumdrops
N' shootin' some whiskey

Some bathroom Polo and bashing headlights
These are a few of my favorite sights!

When the dog bites, When the tires slash,
When i'm feeling sad
I simply remember my louisville swing
And then I don't feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllll
sssooooooo baaaaaadddddddddddddddd.


(sung to the tune of 'Favorite Things' and a slight nasal twang, equipped with trills- and a giant fan to blow wind in your hair)

Racism? Now that's just a bizarre charge.

Taylor Swift as the Baroness and Dolly Parton as Mother Abbess. Ratings gold!

Guys - If we truly want this medium and the masterworks in it to survive, thrive and reach new, young audiences, we have to stop being so provincial in our thinking about interpretations or casting of them. Carrie is an amazing performer who knows damn well (as do the Producers and R&H) that the approach she takes with one of her number-one country/pop hits is not the approach to take with this project. She'll put the necessary work in. And if it means millions more become aware of music theatre, I say Amen!

If the R&H organization was that fiercely protective, this would not exist: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0160429/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2

I call bullsh!t on that. You know you'll watch. You'll complain, but you'll watch.

They could actually get Swift to play Liesl. She's actually one year younger than when Charmian Carr played the role.

I only call bullSH*T on the racism charge.

I, of course, will watch. With an open mind...and hopefully open legs. That's how I got through Liz & Dick!

That I doubt will happen. Having worked in country music for a little bit, I doubt Carries album lets her record for someone else. Same reason The Color Purple EP with Fantasia never happened, her record company put a "hell no" on it real quick.
