"The first footage of NBC and Carrie Underwood&amp;#039;s live adaptation of The Sound of Music has been unveiled. Watch the 30-second TV teaser:  The three-hour TV production of the Broadway musical hit will star Underwood as Maria von Trapp, Stephen Moyer as Captain von Trapp and Audra McDonald as Mother Abbess, the head of Nonnberg Abbey. In addition, Laura Benanti and Christian Borle have signed up for supporting roles. Underwood previously reassured worried fans that the production is not simply a copy of the famous 1965 film, which starred Julie Andrews in the Maria role. &amp;quot;I think once people tune in and realise that [our version] is not a remake, they won&amp;#039;t compare it to the movie,&amp;quot; she said.  The Sound of Music - Live will air on NBC on December 5. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
