[EmmaF]

She's literally the only actress ever playing a teenager that actually looks the age of her character

[rorydiane]

She actually looks 16! I remember always thinking the actress who plays her looked way older

[MoLewis]

Everybody's talking about the guy's age, but what's really underrated here is that they did all this on an uneven surface full of fake trees, vegetation, and rocks. One false step could have scuttled the whole performance, particularly when he leaped from the top of the "hill" to the bottom of the "hill" and she pirouetted on a "rock."

[amiroquet]

The actor they got to play Rolf is so good. Definitely the best live singer here, you can tell he's done musical theater before.

[laurenvalencia_]

I LOVE her Liesel she shows the stubborn and cheeky side of her in the performance. She looks shy but confident. She is an amazing singer and actress. I love it!
You can really see the chemistry between the two as well! They have complete trust in each other while still looking in love.

Everybody: nothing
Rolf being not 17: hOw dO yOu dO fElLow kIdS

[VicenteTorresAliasVits]

"You need someone older to take care of you."
"But we're basically the same age. If your birthday is after mine, then we'll literally be the same age for a while."
"Why are you getting caught up in semantics?!"
"Why are you using straw man arguments to be with me when it's obvious I already like you?"

Yeah, their break up was for the best.

[littleadventurer]

She can passed for 16 going on 17...but he's definitely nowhere near 17 going 18. More like 30 going on 31

[EthalaRide]

This reads so much more as a College TA seducing a dual-enrollment high schooler. _While wearing shorts_
Fantastic dancing tho!

[PaulApplebyphotography]

Rolf: ".... I am 30, going on 35 ..." Reminds me of the scene on Friends where Joey asks if he can pass as a 19 year old.
Joey: "So you’re playing a little Playstation, huh? That’s whack! Playstation is whack! ‘Sup with the whack Playstation, ‘sup?! Huh? Come on, am I 19 or what?!"

[sakimiyu]

I like how in this version the actor playing Rolf is obviously so much older than Liesl. Really makes you think how creepy he is.

[Rocketsong]

Ariane Rinehart was without a doubt the standout performer in this version of the musical.

[meropale]

I'm more bothered by the shorts he's wearing than his age. The movie has spoiled me.

[paultannenberg]

She nailed this role. Much underrated actress.

[TabrisFruLar]

This has always been my favourite song of the musical since I was 6... and I remember wanting to be 16 or 17 to be able to sing it accordingly to my age :P
now I'm 33 going on 34 and it's still my fave... and now I remember what it was being 6 and 16 and 17... wow

[MartynLucas]

I love this music. The music is everything.
In these times more than ever. Thank you for keeping the music going. You inspired me. I believe now is the time for music. So I’m addicted. I upload my music every day. Thank you for leading the way.

[monicacarranco]

This rolf really is cute though, not going to

[Aceee]

Literally my favorite song from the Sound Of Music

[kicklayoutfosse]

I kind of shipped them when I was 8
I was very wrong

And yes, I watched Sound of Music since I was 6 or something

[claunspach]

One of my favourite songs from this wonderful musical. Well done.
