Five years ago in 2011, a $50 million performing arts center opened on the Folsom Lake College campus. Perched on the side of a prominent hill in Folsom, the venue held three distinct stages under one roof. It promised both a home for regional arts organizations and a venue for international touring artists. It was to be an arts laboratory for students and campus faculty alike; for the broader community, the facility was to be a jewel in its crown. The opening performance on February 11 was, fittingly, the national tour of "A Chorus Line," the beloved Broadway play celebrating those hearty souls who pursue a life on stage.

Im Jahr 2012 hatte der amerikanische Fernsehsender NBC eine Idee, ob großenwahnsinnig oder genial, das konnte damals noch keiner sagen. Man wolle den Musical Klassiker THE SOUND OF MUSIC im Fernsehen zeigen. Nicht den weltberuhmten Film mit Julie Andrews, und auch keine gefilmte Version des Musicals (wie man das von Produktionen des National Theatre Live vielleicht aus dem Kino kennt). Nein. Die Idee war die Folgende: In einem Studio in New York sollte das Musical in einer neuen Inszenierung vor laufenden Kameras,  jedoch ohne Publikum, aufgefuhrt und live im Fernsehen ubertragen werden: professionell mit Buhnenbild und Kostumen, in Echtzeit, komplett mit schnellen Kostumwechseln und Szenenumbauten. Eben ganz wie ein live Musical, nur im Studio anstatt im Theater.
