Carrie Underwood and Stephen Moyer Lead Cast in NBC's Live, Nazi-Ridden Version of 'The Sound of Music'
Producers of a new version of the Oscar-winning musical 'The Sound of Music,' set for U.S. television next week, knew it would be a sacrilege to try and re-make the beloved 1965 movie classic starring Julie Andrews. And American country singer Carrie Underwood, who will star as the aspiring nun who brings song into the home of a strict Austrian widower, says she cringes when she hears the word "re-make."
