The Sound of Music Live!: NBC Releases Full Trailer Featuring Cast

NBC has released the full trailer for the upcoming live production of The Sound of Music.

As opposed to the previous clip, the new spot features a longer look at the larger cast – not just Carrie Underwood – as they describe details of the production.  Though Underwood opens the promo, Audra McDonald,  Laura Benanti, Christian Borle and Stephen Moyer are all featured – with Benanti saying perhaps the most defining and important-to-note detail:

“We’re not trying to remake the movie.  Nobody can remake the movie,” Benanti asserts.  Of course, referencing the 1965 Oscar-nominated film adaptation starring Julie Andrews.  It has been said previously that this production is more-aptly compared to the original stage production of the story….if a comparision is even necessary.

Castmembers note the scope of the production (“The set was a NASA hanger,” says Borle), as well as make sure to compliment each other – the incredible talent the Sound of Music production will be featuring.

Surely, as Benanti says, the NBC production will be “a Sound of Music for a new generation.”
