Sound of Music Cast to Reunite on Oprah!

LC NY Bureau Chief Doug has just earned his salary by alerting me to this exciting news - the entire cast of The Sound of Music will reunite on Oprah!

"Stars Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, along with fellow cast members Charmian Carr (Liesl), Nicholas Hammond (Friedrich), Heather Menzies-Urich (Louisa), Duane Chase (Kurt), Angela Cartwright (Brigitta), Debbie Turner (Marta) and Kym Karath (Gretl) will appear on the Oct. 29 broadcast of the chat show."

I just fainted, revived long enough to post this and put it in my Blackberry calendar, then fainted again. 

October 29. Set your DVRs now. Seriously, go do it.  I'll wait.  Wes is bringing the smelling salts anyway, so I have a minute. 

Oh, by the way, I don't really pay Doug, even though he's worth it. 

50th Anniversary of the Sound of Music

The hills have been alive for 50 years. The Sound of Music premiered on Broadway on November 16, 1959. If you're in New York, head over to the Barnes and Noble at 1972 Broadway at 66th St. at 5:00 PM to meet original cast members Theodore Bikel (Captain Von Trapp who will actually sing Edelweiss), Lauri Peters (the original Liesl, a role she stole from me, or would have if I'd been alive yet), and Brian Davies (Rolf. Woof). Finian's Rainbow star Kate Baldwin will be on hand to sing the title song.

If we're lucky, Lazy Circles NY Bureau Chief Doug will give us a recap tomorrow.
