| The last time I saw 'An Ordinary Couple' used in a stage production of 'The Sound of Music' was probably in the 1980s - otherwise it has been 'Something Good' all the way. I don't have a problem with that - I prefer the latter song. And while I remember being very excited to see 'I Have Confidence' used in a stage production of the show for the first time, again, in the 1980s, I don't feel it really fits in with the flow of the scenes. I don't think there is a fast rule here, but sometimes it is obvious when something that was terrific onscreen, does not fit in on the stage. I can give the NBC Live version of the show a point here - it did not insert 'I Have Confidence.' |
