Carrie Underwood Sounds Off On The "Challenge" Of Her Sound Of Music Gig!

Carrie Underwood will do just about anything to make her stint as Maria in NBC’s The Sound of Music production flawless, even if it means punching in some extra hours at rehearsal!

In fact, the songstress is SO dedicated to the 3 hour LIVE spectacle that she decided to show up to NYC a whole three weeks early to prep.

The country bombshell explained:

“This is a live show on TV. So this is definitely a challenge for all of us.I wanted to be here and have all my lines memorized and everything and be ready for it. It’s been really wonderful,. Audra [McDonald] and Laura [Benanti] are incredible. Stephen [Moyer]‘s great. It’s nice to be surrounded by that much talent.”

Dayuuummm! Talk about dedication!

Then again, Carrie knows a thing or two about what it takes to make audiences jaws drop on live TV since hypnotizing the masses on American Idol.

Clearly if Carrie has anything to say about it, this will be an unforgettable small screen moment!!!

And who can resist such a classic??!
