"Annie Get Your Gun" with Tim McGraw would've worked.

I've said it since the promotion, but after Reba McIntyre proved that "Annie..." is a lovely fit for the right C&W-tinged performer, that show seemed ideal for Underwood. Perhaps it doesn't have the same appeal as SOM; yet its film version is far from legendary (beyond these circles) and an Annie Oakley opposite, say Tim McGraw would've been a realistic first leap for Underwood. I would imagine that "I Got Lost in His Arms" and even "Sun in the Morning" would be wonderful with Carrie. Think of the 11 o'clock spot, "Old Fashioned Wedding." She could let it rip, and not be held back by pretending to be... sorry...an Austrian nun. There's just no other way to say it: she's not one. A better fit would've made a huge difference. I feel the singer could make a nice move into musical comedy, but only if she's in a part that lets her be herself. She worked tirelessly last night, and in the weeks and months before. But this wasn't her show. Or..."Unsinkable Molly Brown"?
