You're so welcome. Now, I'm in the mood to watch SOML, again. I would love to hear Carrie talk about it, not the horrible twitter stuff, but what the experience was like, rehearsing and working with the actors, and going live. Maybe someday.

Wow, that gave me goose bumps reading that. And yes, hat off to Carrie. Because she was brave and said yes, look at what it started. I dare say we wouldn't have seen the revival of the live production for tv had there not been a Carrie and her Maria and TSOML.
And I don't care what any haters want to say, I LOVED Carrie's Maria -- warm, gentle, meek, kind, feisty and funny! And a killer voice -- loved her voice singing those oh so familiar songs!!!!

I have the DVD and have it on DVR, too. I love the DVR because there is a commercial for Carrie's Storyteller Tour on it. Since NBC doesn't have a live musical for December 2017, I wonder if they might show SOML, again?
I can understand watching it twice. Every time I watch it, I want to watch it again.
I keep hoping they'll show SOML, again, this December, but I haven't heard anything, yet. I really need them to, because the other day, my DVR got too full and deleted SOML. I can still play the DVD, but it's more trouble if I'm just in the mood to watch certain parts.
By the way, for those who like musicals, PBS is airing the Broadway adaptation of Holiday Inn, tonight. It's supposed to be all the same songs as in the movie.

I'm looking forward to "A Christmas Story - the Musical" on Fox on December 17. Matthew Broderick is the grownup Ralphie narrating the story. Rest of the cast looks good, as well.

Carrie trips and almost rolls down stage! ha ha ha......that terrified me. Great recovery though.
And I know the Baroness steps on her dress also. Not sure of any other issues.

I am not sure A Christmas Story would work that well live. The things I like most about it are the absurdity of the situations that they find themselves in. It requires the "on location" shots that they did that created authenticity. Without that it is just a bunch of Christmassy tableaus all mixed together. Just not sure it would be that entertaining on stage.
There was also when the Admiral forgot his lines. At the time, I thought it was Stephen Moyer who forgot his, because he repeated his line a couple of times, but he was giving the Admiral a cue.

It is on Broadway every year Nov. thru Dec. and there is a touring company, as well. Musical will never replace the movie, which has one of the most authentic sets I've ever seen. When I was a young child we had the same stove, refrigerator, kitchen table for everyday meals, and every little boy I knew wanted a bb gun. We had a similar radio and listened to Jack Armstrong - All American Boy, Buster Brown, etc., and fell for the same commercial tricks as Ralphie's secret code. I look forward to the live production, but will continue with our tradition of watching the movie every year.
It really doesn't seem like that much time has passed. I think I'll watch it tonight.
