It is hard not to compare but there is no comparison between the original movie and this. A decent job by all considering it is a live performance but that is as far as it goes. My biggest worry was, would anyone be able to do justice to "Climb every mountain". Audra McDonald did a fantastic job. A big song and a big voice. It was so far, the only really great moment of the show. There were a lot of awkward moments in the show but the singing has been for the most part good. It is almost impossible to remake a classic. Especially one as beloved as the Sound of Music. As much as I love Carrie, no one will ever have the presence of Julie Andrews. Talk about a tough act to follow.
