'The Sound of Music' is by far my least favorite R&H musical - too treacly. The threat of Nazism is almost sugarcoated. The best part about the 50th Anniversary Edition is the track from 'Julie & Carol at Carnegie Hall' in which Ms. Andrews and Carol Burnett do a hilarious send up of 'My Favorite Things' and 'Do Re Mi.' Thankfully, I was able to download the track without buying this CD. The afore-mentioned Andrews/Burnett concert should be made available soon. Ms. Burnett also does an incredible job on the song 'Meantime.'
