Actually, I guess they're adhering to the stage musical, which I've never seen, rather than the movie.
Yeah. The Reverend Mother has a much bigger part of the first few scenes of the musical than the movie.
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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

Oh, god, all of the children are belting too.
