Something Pretty Good
Okay, let's head back to our 1999 videos of when Laura Benanti made her Broadway starring debut when she was a replacement lead as 'Maria' in The Sound of Music, taking over the role from Rebecca Luker. As I mentioned, she took over the lead at the same time Richard Chamberlain joined the cast.
For those who don't remember, Chamberlain was famously a big TV star in the early-1960s series, Dr. Kildare. He then dropped out of sight for three years, and when he resurfaced, it turned out he had been studying serious acting and played the lead in Hamlet with the well-regarded Birmingham Rep in England to much praise. And then reprised the role on TV in The Hallmark Hall of Fame.
Anyway, here is Laura Benanti and Richard Chamberlain singing Something Good, which wasn't in the original stage show, but has since been interpolated into it after being added to the movie.
