The March 12 edition of the NBC TV sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live featured pop singer (and former Broadway actress) Ariana Grande in skit poking fun at The Sound of Music.
The premise of the sketch is that young postulant Maria overhears her fellow nuns singing Rodgers and Hammerstein's "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria," and calls them out on their insults.
Grande appeared in the 2008 Broadway musical 13 before launching her pop career.
