December 5th, NBC will air Carrie Underwood's Sound of Music Live. We will be praying for a good show for Carrie. My house will be watching and cheering you on, Girl!!!
So in honor of the big Sound of Music show coming up, I thought I would list my suggestions for movie musicals. With plenty of singing and dancing, they are fun to watch and sing along to over the holidays.
