2013 NBC Live!

The notion of broadcasting a live performance of a musical on network television hadn’t been considered in decades. But NBC, under Robert Greenblatt, took the plunge with this highly anticipated television event of the season. The Sound of Music LIVE! was broadcast across America on December 5, 2013 into the homes of over 18 million viewers. Lead by country music star Carrie Underwood, alongside Stephen Moyer, Laura Benanti, Christian Borle and Audra McDonald, this Emmy-nominated sensational special was the network’s most-watched Thursday night program in almost ten years.
