I'm anxious to see how Stephen Moyer and Carrie Underwood get along on the live production...

He can sing, I was surprised to learn that but he can. He just hasn't done any singing since he plays a vampire on True Blood.

I would imagine that would be all sorts of random for his character on True Blood to start randomly singing

I would just die if his character in True Blood started singing. That would be beyond hilarious.

Carrie Underwood will have earned a well-deserved vacation in December.

The singer, who just wrapped up her sixth turn at co-hosting the CMA Awards with Brad Paisley, is spending most of her time in New York City, preparing for her role as Maria Von Trapp for the live televised performance of ‘The Sound of Music.’ In addition to rehearsing with an all-star cast, Underwood is working with both dialect and acting coaches, and was given extra time to prepare before she joined her co-stars.

“I knew I had the furthest to go,” Underwood admits to the New York Post.

Not that her bosses have any fear about her performance. Craig Zadan, who is producing the live broadcast along with Neil Meron, has high praise for the show’s star.

“She’s one of those people who showed up the first day and knew every line of the script and every note of every song,” he says proudly. “She’s an unbelievably hard worker.”

The multi-platinum selling singer says the music is a perfect fit for her, especially the song she sings with the young actors who play the Von Trapp children, ‘The Lonely Goatherd.’

“I’ve been yodeling my whole life, growing up listening to Kitty Wells and the Carter Family,” she explains.

But while she is enjoying singing, her favorite part of the musical has nothing to do with her own songs. Underwood says she is most impressed by the Broadway actresses who have taken on the role of the nuns.

“When they sang, I thought, ‘This is what heaven’s going to sound like,” she admits.

The producers, who have also teamed up for other live televised musicals, including ‘Cinderella’ with Whitney Houston and Brandy, and ‘Annie’ with Kathy Bates, knew that Underwood would be a perfect fit for the role, thanks in part to her worldwide appeal and her own personal beliefs.

“I think it’s very important, especially in a piece like this, a musical that deals with religion and nuns, that she has that fan base,” Zadan notes. “There’s an element in faith-based belief in the show. The spirituality in the show lends itself to Carrie’s core audience.”

Underwood adds that the show’s religious theme, with her character considering becoming a nun instead of raising the Von Trapp children, was especially appealing to her. “Her faith was very important to her and it’s important to me,” she explains.

‘The Sound of Music’ will air live on Dec. 5 at 8PM ET on NBC.

Laura Benanti Says Her Sound of Music Co-Star Carrie Underwood Will ‘Prove the Haters Wrong’ | Broadway Buzz | Broadway.com

Quote:
“I think she is going to be great,” Benanti told Broadway.com of Underwood. “It always makes me sad when people seem to root against other people — it doesn’t feel generous. She is one of the most famous people in the world, and yet she is incredibly humble. She knows that she is a little bit out of her element here, but I have never seen a human being work as hard as she has, and she’s doing a really, really good job. I’ve seen tremendous growth in her over the past month, and we still have three more weeks to go, so I’m excited for her. I think she is going to prove the haters wrong.”

We are super quick like that Jessica. This is such a amazing role for her, totally needed its own thread.

I think she is really going to blow people away with her performance. This is something so different for her, and she is going to prove all the haters wrong.
