Crosswalk the Musical: The Sound of Music

Feeling the pressure of airing in primetime, James takes on his most ambitious Crosswalk the Musical yet with "The Sound of Music" -- and reluctantly invites Allison Janney, Anna Faris, Kunal Nayyar and Iain Armitage along to co-star, which turns into a fevered battle for the role of Maria.

Each week night, THE LATE LATE SHOW with JAMES CORDEN throws the ultimate late night after party with a mix of celebrity guests, edgy musical acts, games and sketches. Corden differentiates his show by offering viewers a peek behind-the-scenes into the green room, bringing all of his guests out at once and lending his musical and acting talents to various sketches. Additionally, bandleader Reggie Watts and the house band provide original, improvised music throughout the show. Since Corden took the reigns as host in March 2015, he has quickly become known for generating buzzworthy viral videos, such as Carpool Karaoke."

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

Einna Ativat Not everyday, but whenever it was on tv.

[@h1a1n1n1a1h]

My dad basically used The Sound of Music as a babysitter when he had work to do (still in the house, just needs quiet to do work)

[@bigclown3419]

Watch it every Christmas...never disappoints

[@crystanick2697]

That one, Grease & Dirty Dancing were my moms favorites. She watched them ALL time. Watching them now kind of bums me out. It's just not the same without her...
