UK fans of beloved family-friendly Golden Age musical THE SOUND OF MUSIC may see an all-new British edition of the recent NBC mega-hit live telecast of the Rodgers & Hammerstein classic next year according to a new report.

Plans are currently underway to produce a live TV edition of the musical set to be broadcast next year, staging it in one of the many reputable movie studios in the UK such as Pinewood or Elstree Studios.

Additionally, producers plan to utilize a live orchestra for the performance, as well.
