In 2013, The Sound of Music Live shocked the TV industry—and NBC execs—by drawing 18.6 million viewers and a 4.6 rating among adults ages 18-49. Then the ratings for last December's live musical, Peter Pan Live, surprised everyone again, but this time for a different reason. The broadcast attracted less than half as many total viewers—9.21 million—and fell to a 2.4 rating in 18-49.
