Carrie's "acting" was so incredibly bad. ugh.
And I thought I recognized Pan. Hope she'll be better than Carrie. I might tune in just cause I love Peter Pan
That was a sequel though. Hook not Mrs. Doubtfire that is.

Peter Pan is so fucking hot
edit: "I will say this about last year: Today's audiences like to watch things cynically. And I'm on a show that's cynical in tone so I'm no stranger to that," Williams, 26, told The Daily Beast ahead of the big event. "Hate-watching is a thing. It's a whole way of watching something, and it's not an audience that's natural to a non-cynical performance."
This musical -- which debuted on Broadway in 1954 and has been performed three times for television -- is nothing but non-cynical performances. "Peter Pan, you cannot watch cynically. If you do, you're going to hate it, no question," she said of the production, an adaptation of J.M. Barrie's classic 1904 play and 1911 novel. "It falls apart instantly."
Uh oh Neogaf what do we do? I know no other way

Yes.
Pan is in yellow.
I forgot how heavily photoshopped Lena is in that photo.
Thought the same thing.

He won't be able to hold a candle to Hook.
I can see no other Capt. Hook than this one.

Peter Pan is hot holy shit. 0_0
Am I going to be ok guys?
Yeah she does. I find short hair to be the most attractive when done right. In this case...it is done ever so right. XD

Yeah, it's weird because it's so wrong. Long hair 4 lyfe...at least on her.
It's illegal in western countries to castrate prepubescent boys outside of medical reasons.

I don't like his make-up/costume design at all, and you'd have to pay me to watch this. Sound of Music was laughably bad, from what I saw.
That's a hat.

Are these things normally lip synched?
This reminds me of how John Williams wrote an entire musical for Hook; I wish I could hear it. The music in the movie was only a fraction of it.
A lot of live productions are, but if something goes wrong then the entire thing is ruined. Doing it live allows actors to salvage the show.

Shouldn't be, it's just a play on TV.

Over the top is sometimes the thing for performances like this.
It was. Already a great job with that.

because he's old and has never had stage fight training. but there were other....issues.
Of course, it's perfect for stage performances because you want the audience to understand you from far away; but in here the camera is very close to the action (impressively so, even despite his shadow sometimes showing up in the scene).

How did they do that so well? It was super slick.

These seem to do really well for NBC, so they put a whole hell of a lot of force and production talent into it. Production wise, Sound of Music was absolutely ridiculous

Given the pace of it so far, I'm not surprised. I just would never have expected more than two hours.

Allison is at least 15,000X more natural than Carrie Underwood. Watching Carrie in Sound of Music was just plain cringeworthy. Even the crazy production values couldn't save that shit
