Richard Rodgers presents Lauri Peters 2 23 60 

🎹 Wow! I saw Laurie's performance on Broadway in The Sound Of Music at the Lunt Fontanne tbeater when I was 13 years old. Thanks for this amazing video clip. It made me shed tears of joy remembering it all.

I had the pleasure of working with Ms Peters at a small newspaper in the early 1980s. She was charming then, too. What an amazing talent!

She will always be my May Blossom. Love you Lauri!

I was internet surfing for something totally unrelated and found an image of Lauri dancing with Fabian, which jogged my memory of a movie I had seen, “Mr. Hobbs Takes A Vacation,” when I was 12 in 1962. I had a crush on her back then because she was so cute (really, extraordinarily cute... or “that’s wonderfu!, as Richard Rodger’s wife exclaimed, in this clip), so I did the Google search and was pleased to find these saved RU-vid clips. I had no idea she had been in The Sound Of Music on Broadway or was married to Jon Voigt. I was and remain a big fan.

She must have been horribly humiliated when they had another singer overdub her songs in "Summer Holiday." She should have been a much bigger star than what she managed to get.

I like lauri Peter's. She's cute.

She looks like a younger Audrey Meadows

Lauri wasn’t a great singer but she was cute and had personality. Her voice was dubbed in a subsequent musical. I thought Charmian Carr was badly miscast in the role of Liesl in the movie version. She couldn’t act OR sing. Her singing voice was dubbed by her younger sister who also couldn’t sing. They could have done much better in casting that part. She was the weakest link in an otherwise great movie musical. I cringe every time I watch her scenes and songs in the movie. Lauri is still alive as I type this and I am wondering how she felt about acting with the late Burt Reynolds in Gunsmoke. Her role as cousin Mayblossom was memorable. So much so that they brought Lauri back the same year as another character as I recall.

Yikes. Her voice is awful. Broadway?
