Julie Andrews has confessed she has not got round to watching The Sound of Music Live!.



Starring Carrie Underwood as the lead Maria, the TV performance was reportedly watched by more than 18 million television viewers last week on NBC.


At last night's Saving Mr Banks premiere, when quizzed whether she'd seen it, the Mary Poppins star said: "Alas, I did not (see it). I had a speaking engagement and I couldn't. But my kids did record it. I'll get around to it."

The 78-year-old star joined the likes of Emma Thompson, Tom Hanks and Dick Van Dyke on the red carpet for the Los Angeles premiere of Saving Mr Banks. Andrews appeared delighted to be joined by her co-star at the event to see the film, which portrays the run up to one of the biggest films in both of their careers.


Mary Poppins was Andrews first major screen role, following her successful career on stage, with the box office smash landing her a Best Actress Oscar.

"It's mind boggling. I cannot believe it's been 50 years since then. I've lost about 20 years somewhere," Andrews explained in an interview with the Today show about the classic film's upcoming 50th anniversary.


"You always set a bar for yourself that's high,” she added.


"People are so lovely and you want to give them pleasure. You do the best you can. You hope that any movie you do is something people will enjoy and love to see."
