The Sound of Music Live DVD

For those of you who just can’t get enough of Carrie Underwood testing out her acting skills in the live The Sound of Music production which aired on NBC on Thursday, December 5, 2013, Universal Studios Home Entertainment will be making the DVD of The Sound of Music Live! available on December 17th (in time for holiday shopping).

The DVD release of the special will include a ‘Making Of’ special feature that provides a backstage look at the production from the rehearsal process through the actual live performance.
