The hills are alive with the sound of minds-blown. Mia Farrow auditioning for The Sound of Music.
Thanks to The Broadway Blog for sharing this. Tom succinctly describes exactly how I'm feeling whilst watching this on loop right now.
The Sound of Music is so iconic, so ingrained in our collective consciousness, that it feels immovable, inviolate–a solid totem of granite clothed in floral-curtain lederhosen. It is, has been and always will be. That’s what makes this brief audition video all the more shocking and hilarious and unsettling. In my opinion the world would be a better place if every film were to hit DVD with failed auditions as extras. I realize it's not so great for the egos of actors but think of the fanssssssssss. Also: doesn't this only makes you love Mia more... and there's already so much to love about her.
