The Hills Are Alive

Carrie Underwood has landed her next acting role. The singer will be portraying Maria von Trapp in a live televised version of the Sound of Music.

NBC revealed today, November 30, “We’re thrilled to be presenting the Broadway version of The Sound of Music live. And having Carrie Underwood as the star brings it to a new generation who will fall in love with it for the first time, as many millions of people already have. It’s a particular joy to us as producers to see this amazing artist stretch into new territory with this classic musical.”

The live event will air during the 2013 Holiday season.

I have officially died! I am so excited to see Carrie take on the role of Maria. I also cannot wait to see who else they cast in the musical!

Who else do you think they should cast?
