'Sleepy Hollow' Premier Gets an A
the pilot was great. now let's hope they can keep it going. the leads, tom mison and nicole beharie, are both charmers and have great chemistry.
if you missed the first episode fox is repeating it friday night, yes tomorrow, at 9pm. set your dvr's now if you missed it.
'Burton and Taylor' on BBC America Oct.16
i presume this may already be airing in the uk. thank the gods for bbc america. this summer they gave us the brilliant mystery 'broadchurch'. and this past winter and winter next the terrific 'orphan blaack. these are but two of many shows they have shipped across the pond.
now we have this taylor-burton film that can hopefully eradicate the lindsay lohan debacle this past year.
watching this clip i'd say helena bonham carter's taylor might be a great companion for ms taylor's martha in 'who's afraid of 'virginia wolff'.

Audra Mcdonald and Laura Benanti Join 'Sound of Music' Live NBC Production
audra mcdonald, laura benanti and christian borle, tony winners all, join carrie underwood and stephen moyer in the nbc live production of the original stage version of 'the sound of music' this coming december.
(the film tweaked the original production by cutting and rearranging musical numbers)

audra will play the mother abbess once again breaking the 'color barrier' that she first did in the lincoln center production of 'carousel' that sent her career soaring. bravo to the network and producers for this brave casting. i am almost certain there were no black abbesses in austria in 1939. she will get to sing 'climb every mountain' and 'my favorite things' with carrie underwood's maria. this is how it was originally played but changed for the film.
laura benanti and christian borle will get to perform two songs that were unfortunately cut from the 1965 oscar winner: 'no way to stop it' and 'how can love survive'. they are two of my favorites from the score.
i don't know much about carrie underwood except that she has huge shoes to fill taking on the julie andrews role. i wish her well.
but with audra and laura onboard there is no doubt i will be there.
stephen moyer will portray capt. von trapp and ms underwood the novice turned governess maria.
audra, laura and christian will portray the mother abbess, baroness schrader and uncle max respectively. they all fit these roles perfectly.

Carrie Preston Finally Gets Her EMMY
carrie preston finally won her emmy for 'the good wife'. but why the hell is this award given early at the 'creative emmy award show'. it's kind of insulting. the fabulous ms preston nabbed 'guest actress in a drama'. if you've missed her on 'the good wife' you are missing one of tv's best ever performances!
the male counterpart went to the more than deserving dan bucatinsky in 'scandal'.
