Actually, I guess they're adhering to the stage musical, which I've never seen, rather than the movie.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Yeah. The Reverend Mother has a much bigger part of the first few scenes of the musical than the movie.

Because books.
I clicked past before, and Maria was singing "My Favorite Things" to the Mother Superior, which was confusing.
Live-on-TV stuff like that makes me weirdly nervous. I want to watch from the hall in case something goes horribly wrong.

I can't complain, given the Audra McDonald of it all. But I think I'm in this until Climb Ev'ry Mountain, and then bailing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't know why they had to do it live. I mean, I don't understand why they had to do it at all! But still.
The movie v. stage thing was a real bummer for me when I saw Grease on stage. Where were my favorite lines? Not in the state show, mostly.

Oh, "Climb Ev'ry Mountain"! One of my piano pieces when I was about twelve.
And I have to watch "Do Re Mi." It's one of the only songs I ever sang to the kids when they were babies.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
You can all do like I used to have to when I was a kid, and watch until the kids go to bed. Then you could miss all the political drama, which, if acting skills are in question, could be likely to be problematic.

I kind of want something to go horribly wrong. More horribly wrong.

I realize that it's not fair to judge this for not being the movie, but I don't care. This song isn't the same without them traipsing through Salzburg.

She's just so very much not Julie Edwards.
