‘The Sound of Music’ cast performs ‘The Sound of Gaga’
cast of hit musical gives a modern twist
Lady Gaga’s “The Sound of Music” 50th anniversary Oscars tribute may have been last year, but the cast of one production returned the favor with a mashup of Lady Gaga hits.
The cast of a U.K. production of the hit musical mashed together the characters from “The Sound of Music” with Lady Gaga’s most popular songs. The two worlds come together for a production all its own.
Sister Maria sings a rendition of “Paparazzi,” a group of nuns passionately belt out “Judas” in church, Captain von Trapp and Maria dance along to “LoveGame” and a wedding scene is accompanied by “Bad Romance.”
The production had Lady Gaga singing its praises in a thankful tweet.
I mean this is just so amazing, the instrumentation and the performers! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! https://t.co/bj2eCO9N1N
