Of course, doesn't EVERYONE!? I saw the show 75 times in the theater (it played for 3 years at the Fox Theater in downtown Phoenix). Probably seen it over 200 times since Video/DVD came out. Even did the Sound of Music bus tour in Salzburg. Pathetic, I know. I lived in Central America when I was young. When the grade school got the Sound of Music, it was a party because you didn't get old movies all that often. The commercial theaters showed the first runs and lots of kung-fu stuff. The American School had it for six months, we must have seen it every week, sometimes multiple times a week. Then I got roped into singing in the choir, and our repertoire? Sound of Music tunes. Even with that, I still like the music. Did you see this? www.nytimes.com/2008/07/29/theater/29arts-SOUNDOFMUSIC_BRF.html

Nixon also dubbed Deborah Kerr in The King and I.
Then she gave it all up for love and became one of our most revered First Ladies.

Sound of Music was great...loved it as a kid! Bought a copy of the dvd....for my mom. Yeah...a Christmas present for my mom.
Actually wouldn't mind owning a copy of West Side Story and My Fair Lady. I was in a school play called My Fair Princess, and I sang "The Rain in Spain" (LOL). Also remember the one night we had a performance a classmate was sick, so I had to stand in for his part as a guard with 1 or 2 lines. And it wasn't "HARK! Who Goes There!?!"

Why are they always asking Hark who goes there? Does Hark have a better view?

I saw that house on our tour (just the outside), along with pretty much all the sights from the movie. Gotta love it-SofM fans on a bus with the movie playing on the bus TV with us all singing along with the songs. Heavy sigh-good times.

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not-wasn't Pat Nixon, it was Marni Nixon. And you're right, she sang for Deborah Kerr, also. Wow-this thread has taken a new turn.

The "revered" part was sarcasm. And Marni Nixon was _never_ First Lady.

Wow-this thread has taken a new turn. I will take credit for this whole mess, as I'm quite gifted in the art of threadjacking. Visa or Mastercard only.

The girl who sang is really cute! They should have kept her. I totally agree. (Can I say this without sounding like a child pedophile? I'm no such thing, btw.) The Chinese head honchos are such idiots. Do they think the rest of the world doesn't know what's going on in their country? They can try and try to put their best face forward, but it's just a facade, man, just a facade.

The NY Times article says Lin Miaoke's (that's the girl who lip-synched at the ceremony) dad noticed “that the voice was a little different from hers”, and that it is unclear if she even knew that the voice that was actually heard was a recording of the other girl.

That can't be true. Acronyms in the middle ages?
And what about "Hark, Harold! The angels sing!"
Someone just told me that Hannah Montana doesn't really sing either. It's some kid named Miley-something. Miley Nixon?

That Miley kid has a strange disease though, clothes keeps falling off of her when she doesn't sing.
