The two would surely be a superb pair because Carrie Underwood, the winner of American Idol Season 4, is a seasoned live performer. She has several platinum records, 16 Billboard awards, and 6 Grammy awards under her belt, while Stephen Moyer has starred as Bill Compton in “True Blood”, a vampire movie. Stephen has also played on stage before. The special musical is set to air on December 5, 2013.

The original stars of “The Sound of Music” were Christopher Plummer as Captain Von Trapp and Julie Andrews as Maria Von Trapp. Apparently, the team concerned is careful in the musical’s preparation because the blockbuster movie will always be a classic, and people would not want – even a Live performance – to reduce the movie’s brilliance.
