I don't think that Walken was was in The Sound of Music on Broadway. Are you perhaps thinking of Jon Voight, who was a replacement Rolf?

Christopher Walken did do musicals, of course, primarily as a dancer and in roles that had a major dance component.

You are right. "Ronnie Walken" was in HIGH SPIRITS though so he has experience in musical comedy.

I saw HIGH SPIRITS but don't remember Walken in it(though he is prominent in my souvenir booklet). I do remember him in WEST SIDE STORY in stock though. And his musical talents are amply on display in PENNIES FROM HEAVEN.

So, I'm just curious how The Sound Of Music got into this. Were you possibly thinking of Christopher Plummer from the film? Or Christian Borle from last year's telecast? Or did you really think Walken had played in the show on Broadway?

That's why I said he had done musicals — because of his appearances in High Spirits and other musicals.
