Tonight is the night for The Sound of Music Live, starring Carrie Underwood and Stephen Moyer. As the show goes on, so will we … posting updates, commentary, live tweets, photos, and full details! Stay tuned!
After an unintentionally scary scene at the convent, Carrie Underwood goes right into the famous lyrics … “The hills are alive with the sound of music …” 8:05pm
Did no one just see Carrie trip down the hill? Those hills really are alive – watch out Carrie! #TheSoundOfMusicLive

If you’re stuck in a Julie Andrews state of mind while watching this, some of the cast members have some nice words for you. Check out the below tweet:
PLEASE watch the show tonight with an open heart and mind. We are performing for you with love. We adore our leading lady. Suck it haters.

Having difficulty watching Carrie Underwood in a nun’s outfit … especially with all that makeup on … 8:11pm
Raindrops on roses … Third grade flashbacks. 8:13pm
I just wish Carrie was a better actress…her singing is beautiful but the acting…eh. #TheSoundOfMusicLive

Many are not reacting well to Carrie Underwood’s acting though they love her voice … 8:18pm
At least the music is making up for the lame lines and bad acting. #TheSoundOfMusicLive

Wasn’t crazy about the first couple sets, but loving the one for the house. Looks gorgeous. 8:24pm
Wait, am I watching True Blood …? Hello, Stephen! 8:24pm
Stephen Moyer is killing it … He’s bringing this show to life. 8:27pm
What’s wrong with Maria’s dress? It was better than what she was wearing before … 8:28pm
Who wants to shove that whistle down his Von Trapp right now? 8:29pm
No one likes Carrie’s dress, huh … I wonder if they like her acting. 8:31pm
Carrie Underwood on the guitar strumming two notes. 8:32pm
It’s hard not to find yourself singing along … “Doe, a deer, a female deer …” 8:33pm
Carrie is killing it on the singing, but she has never been much of an actress. She doesn't have much emotion acting #TheSoundOfMusicLive
— Mina & Marelle Cole (@MinaandMarelle) December 6, 2013
Having a running fountain on the set was pretty impressive. 8:41pm
I can’t handle this guy’s shorts right now. 8:44pm
“I am sixteen going on seventeen …” 8:45pm
Haters need to turn off the TV. I swear. If you don't like it turn it off! #TheSoundOfMusicLive

"Take 3 sips every time Vampire Bill looks like he might eat the von Trapp kids." #TheSoundOfMusicLive drinking game: http://t.co/iIMIEKT5OR

The scene with Ariane Rinehart has been the best so far … 8:52pm
The actress playing Liesl is actually trying to act like a real human being. Others in the cast should follow suit. #TheSoundOfMusicLive
— Ryan McGee (@TVMcGee) December 6, 2013
Carrie Underwood yodeling sounds the most natural of all the songs. Perhaps it’s her country roots. 8:56pm
Just as there are a lot of haters, there are a lot of big supporters as well…
People need to remember Carrie is doing the broadway version not the movie! I think she's doing great! #TheSoundOfMusicLive
— Becca P (@frmscratchbecca) December 6, 2013
Actually loving that magenta dress and hating the shoes … 9:06pm
I think its wonderful that NBC decidated a night to live theater. I just don't think I like some of the cast choices #TheSoundOfMusicLive
— Katie-Lynn Murphy (@KtLynnM_13) December 6, 2013
I forgot about the Nazis being involved in this play … 9:10pm
Man, that whistle is back … 9:12pm
If I were those boys, I’d be really mad I had to wear those floral suspenders and shorts. 9:12pm
Carrie is warming up in this scene. That was pretty good. No shade. I'm totally serious. #TheSoundOfMusicLive
— Angela Romack (@angelamromack) December 6, 2013
As Captain Von Trapp opens his mouth to sing, the Twitter haters are hoping he’d shut it. 9:17pm
The set looks really beautiful with all the couples dancing in their evening wear. 9:24pm
The tweets about #TheSoundOfMusicLive are the funniest I've ever read about anything on Twitter. Far more entertaining than the actual show.
— Joe Watson (@wjoewatson) December 6, 2013
Ah, a classic. 9:32pm
Holy high note young man. 9:34pm
"So Long, Farewell" is one of my favorites songs in this movie. #TheSoundOfMusicLive
— Riley Freeman™ (@Nutkrackers) December 6, 2013
Loving all of Laura Benanti’s costumes … 9:35pm
Uh oh. Carrie Underwood’s even trying to run away from The Sound of Music Live … 9:36pm
Jesus take the wheel #TheSoundOfMusicLive
— Ryann (@neaira) December 6, 2013
I'm sorry but nobody even comes close to Julie Andrews #SorryCarrie #TheSoundOfMusicLive
— DiaryOfATheatreGirl (@TheatreGrlDiary) December 6, 2013
I desperately want Audra McDonald to break out into numbers from Nunsense and Sister Act right now. #TheSoundOfMusicLive
— Shyaporn (@Shyaporn) December 6, 2013
Climb Every Mountain … 9:46pm
I'm REALLY hoping none of these actors see their Twitter feeds during intermission. If they do, they might not return. #TheSoundOfMusicLive
— Corey Thomas (@CTh0m) December 6, 2013
I wonder what Carrie Underwood is thinking about to make those tears come. 9:47pm
For anyone else watching #TheSoundOfMusicLive. Article about the real Von Trapp family: http://t.co/jX9zUq99nV

Atleast the Captain is still singing without Carrie Underwood there. 9:55pm
Attention parents: if you are watching this with your children, it may constitute child abuse #TheSoundofMusicLive
— Harold Itzkowitz (@HaroldItz) December 6, 2013
I love how Carrie Underwood returns, dressed somewhat normal unlike the rest of the film. 9:58pm
Even the Captain noticed her outfit. 10:00pm
Not a fan of this song. 10:07pm
MY FAVORITE SONG ABOUT HITLER IS ON #TheSoundOfMusicLive
— Jeffrey Hadz (@Hadzilla) December 6, 2013
Adios, lady. Maria’s back. 10:10pm
I can’t handle Carrie Underwood’s puffy sleeves. 10:11pm
That kiss was a bit much for a former nun … a little more tongue than I would have thought. 10:14pm
Happy @NBC is doing #TheSoundOfMusicLive. No, it can't touch Julie Andrews' performance, but it is a great live, theatrical performance.
— Marguerite Ward (@ForWardist) December 6, 2013
I forgot how fast people got married back then … in movies anyway. 10:17pm
The nuns’ voices are overpowering. 10:18pm
Why does the costume designer hate Carrie Underwood’s breasts? #TheSoundOfMusicLive
— Joe Roch (@JoeRoch) December 6, 2013
Uh Oh. Max is in trouble since the Captain has returned. 10:27pm
Was Carrie Underwood just using a teleprompter? 10:30pm
Well here's a career tip I'll take to heart. When doing multi-cam, have an audience. Always have an audience #FlatJokes #TheSoundOfMusicLive
— Aaron Bala (@AaronBala) December 6, 2013
This is starting to feel like a very long SNL sketch without any laughs. #TheSoundOfMusicLive
— Mark Szlachetka (@marksfunny) December 6, 2013
I don’t remember how this ends. 10:33pm
This scene is giving me goosebumps. Finally some drama! 10:37pm
The way they’ve done the set change was nice and fluid, but still can’t get used to all the Nazi symbols. 10:38pm
Well this is the weirdest episode of True Blood I've ever seen. #TheSoundOfMusicLive
— Sarah B Fitz (@fitzybits) December 6, 2013
I'm gonna have to disagree with Grumpy Cat. #TheSoundOfMusicLive pic.twitter.com/UC4y6iC1UU
— TheFrisky (@TheFrisky) December 6, 2013
Is anyone getting really sad at the thought of Captain Von Trapp being taken away? 10:47pm
The Von Trapps win and dash … 10:50pm
Even the nuns aren’t supporting The Sound of Music cast. 10:54pm
Of course it’s getting good when it’s almost over. 10:56pm
Not liking the ending … I’m needing more closure. 10:59pm
-THE END-
