Sound of Music Live- No Way to Stop It (Act II, Scene 1b)

[@psychokarloff]

I'm amazed in a wonderful way that these kids, and their director, actually got across the subtext of this song, in a velvet glove. Elsa is a Nazi (Max is an on the fence coward), and this song is a celebration of the oncoming invasion of Austria. And the butler is a brilliant addition to this scene, kind of an Everyman (a la Joel Grey in "Cabaret") personifying the German populace panting for German vengeance after WW I. Well done, kids!

[@brookeelizabeth1104]

The actress who plays Elsa has an amazing voice huge amount of talent!! everyone in this musical does!!!

[@feelthejoy]

Except that part isn’t supposed to be belted. This is super cringe. Not her fault though.

[@brookedowd7747]

Elsa’s facial expressions and overall acting shines so bright and is breathtaking to see just how much emotion she has put into her character, the scene, and show! I just can’t get over it!!

[@ilec88]

You know a production is fantastic when even the butler has an amazing voice :)

[@hefinrosser8685]

Wow This actress is AMAZING XXX what a performance xxx

[@FandubWorld]

At first I was wondering "Wait... why is the butler singing?" But then again it does make sense in context given how he ends up joining the Nazis. And/or they didn't want this guy's talent going to waste. Good move from the director!

[@sengastar]

I just did percussion for this musical. This was by far my favourite song.

[@johne6081]

Along with "How Can Love Survive?" a shameful deletion from the movie version.

[@Juliaflo]

@AND ANDREY ISN'T HERE Copy that.

[@tyronekracht461]

I agree I have seen this version, ITC's version, and Carrie Underwood's version all included both songs and they are by far the best songs ever.

[@lauraschoenborn3544]

This scene should have been in the OG it shows crucial differences between Elsa and Georg. And by crucial I mean why they would have never worked!

[@helenerickson220]

Ohhhh I think the guy playing Franz also played Jekyll/Hyde in their production and wow he has a fabulous voice

[@melissamolina6250]

Thank you so much for posting the whole show! Eeek! So awesome! Absolutely Awesome!

[@RedskyRising]

When you're Franz in the musical and you can sing better than the Captain so you sing in place for him

[@kroganpopy9206]

Damn it, I should have tried to get the part of Franz! Instead I wound up as Zeller, which isn't a bad character, but there aren't any singing parts. And frankly, it would be weird if there were, or if the actor for Zeller filled in for another's singing roll.

[@kroganpopy9206]

I just listened to the scene where the captain sings edelweiss, and the Captain can sing very very well. I think for this scene, they wanted to give Franz a singing part, since in the original version he doesn't sing.

[@danielsolomon3794]

It also makes more sense for the plot@@kroganpopy9206

[@GuillermoCalderon2326]

I was Franz in my school play

[@juliasolsticestudios60]

Lol I got Marta this year and six years ago I was Gretl. So I've aged 2 years in maturity in the last six years

[@HunterHuiet]

This truly sets up Franz’s betrayal

[@retlaw1976]

why is franz singing this song? and not the captain

[@xlarisbartholomew8269]

ikr for real

[@arinfilms15]

retlaw1976 Because his voice is amazing

[@danielsolomon3794]

It also makes more sense for the plot@@arinfilms15

[@lauraschoenborn3544]

@@danielsolomon3794 No it didn’t. The point of the song was to expose the fault lines and lead to the break up with Elsa and the captain. If the captain left before the song it didn’t fit. Because he wasn’t fighting them throughout the song.

[@HunterHuiet]

@@danielsolomon3794 Not to mention that it also sets up Franz’s betrayal

[@TueSorensen]

A great song - despite it being a hymn to egocentricity!

[@choppersworld5094]

the cap reminds me of cory from glee

[@dustbunee2007]

I see what you did here. You gave Gregorio (Franz) a small singing part so his massive talent wouldn't go to waste.

[@ju2545]

Gretl is sooo cute 😘

[@chrischellelopez9]

Elsa did great acting :)

[@abigailweston4297]

What is the last thing that Elsa says to him??

[@ekd7303]

abigail weston "auf weidersein, darling". it means "Goodbye darling"

[@alexnorth60]

does anyone know who played capt. von trapp?

[@ghghghg5667]

i also want to know it,,

[@abigailweston4297]

Go to the curtain call of this and you will find out at the credits.

[@jjuanpa]

Does anyone knows who plays Max?

[@cannedmusic]

I wonder why the servant sang, and not Georg.

[@ingriderawan8148]

i feel bad when captain broke up with elsa because he fell in love with maria
