"Tonight, NBC will broadcast The Sound of Music Live!, which is
exactly what it sounds like: a live production of the classic Rogers and
Hammerstein musical. Starring Carrie Underwood as Maria von Trapp, the
nun who forsakes her religious calling to marry the man she loves so
they can tour the world with their brood of singing children, the
production is the first live television event of its kind in decades. The Sound of Music
is a beloved family classic, but there’s quite a lot you may not know
about the musical, the wildly popular film based upon it, and the
real-life Maria von Trapp."
Read the rest - this live event is being done from the former Grumman plant in Bethpage, Long Island. This is where thousands of Long Islanders once worked, including those that built the lunar module that landed on the moon.
