Shit movies
Lol.
agreed
Oops...
The wells fargo wagon song is how I feel about my amazon packages arriving.
I’ve never related to a comment more
@@michaeleverhart1275 same😂
That’s how our director told us to relate to it
No kidding I had a package coming and I was so excited that I listened to the song
YES HAHA!
Hello random person thats scrolling through the comment section :D
Really really😏🙄
WHy hello there Muffin?!
Hi
Hello!
Hi
That first number on the train is SO underrated and it deserves so much love ugh
Naama Gordon Yes, I agree! It’s my favorite part!
It is so creative
YessssssssssssssSir, YesssssssssssssSir. And when the man dances, certainly boys, what else? The piper pays him...... YessssssssssssssSir, YesssssssssssssSir. But he doesn't know the territory!!!! I've been to Mason City, Iowa where they celebrate Meredith Wilson. It took him 8 years to write this.
I thought "Lida Rose/Will I Ever Tell You (superimposed)" was just amazing when they were singing the two completely different songs together and a horse and carriage came clopping by..... brilliant!
Whaddya talk whaddya talk
"Why doesn't he like me?!"
Probably because you just laughed at his face when he lisped
Bing bong bong
1. I'm liking your comment cause I like it
2.I love your profile its a big x on Donald trumps face LOL
EXACTLY! THANK YOU! It’s because you freaking made fun of him. I just performed this in my theatre company, and that part makes me want to just yell at her every time. 🙄
TRUE! I tried out for the music Man musical that I am doing with a children's theatre group and I tried out for amerillis but ended up as Gracie shinn!

I know, right? But so amazing: "I understand you four have hated one another ever since Kindergarten." "YES!" "Yup." "Well. From now on - mark my words - they will never be seen without one another! You, Sir, sing it low. Sing bass." 🎶 #Happens. ** Harkouts to #SiouxCityIA and #WheatonIL (and thereabouts). +++ from the granddaughter of Jenny Ann Moss 🇺🇸
Aren’t we all lol
If Harold spent nearly as much time learning music as he did scamming, he’d make a pretty good music teacher. He obviously understands rhythm and beat.
🤔🤔 Never thought of it that way before but now that he's "going straight" with Marian, he'll have to learn all of the instruments. 🤣🤣
I always thought the story made it clear: if you stick around town sidewinder you’ll change yer ways…
i love the irony in "it's a large plot point that hill doesn't know one note from another" while he is in a musical and therefore the audience sees him singing and dancing like nobodys business. the way he gets the schoolboard to be a barbershop quartet demonstrates he has solid relative pitch & rudimentary conducting basics at LEAST. silly billy. perhaps his motivation in being a con man rather than a legitimate music man(tm) was more laziness than a genuine lack of ability...
@@lakeswirl6985 That’s a brilliant observation and so true. But if one wants to make sense of the statement, “you don’t know one note from another,” you could explain it as referring to him not knowing where the notes are on the band instruments themselves. Anybody can whistle or sing (which, of course, he could do very well.)
I’ve wondered too, why people love the “con man” so much? I think people admire him because he is so good at what he does (even though it is dishonest.) And, being attractive and charming doesn’t hurt.
@@ThePianoMan1953 I don’t think everyone can sing. At least not naturally. Many can with training. And not everyone can whistle either. Maybe the draw to conmen is the same as the draw to badboys. A lot of people fall in love with murderers and convicts too.
54:34
The moment when we learn Harold can teleport. Harold is now not just a sleazy salesperson, he is also a physics defying hacker.
Don't forget momentary Cupid
No, Broderick just does that. They kept it in because they thought it made the scene better.
Try 56:34
And a co-producer of a broadway musical about Hitler.
EXACTLY what I thought
Dear dear Amaryllis, if you want a boy to like you, you don't laugh at his impediment and then wonder why he won't talk to you.
Lol
stitcher64 In the 1962 version yes I think she was laughing at him. But in this version, I like to think she is doing a coy laugh because she likes him and likes hearing him saying her name.
+stitcher64 That annoys me every time I watch this movie...
+DrageeReborn same here! It also annoys me how she calls her music teacher an old maid!
+Reagan Evans I know! Not a very polite girl.. :-p
Kristin Chenoweth is amazing with everything she does. Her angelic soprano voice, her hilarious comedic timing, and so versatile.
Omg I never noticed that was her! 😂
agree
My uncle is on
Opppppp didn't mean to say that
She's simply terrific with everything. The original "Music Man" is so special to my family; but hearing her in this rendition helped make this an admirable follow up.
"I always think there's a band, kid." - love that line.
Well, there is always a band. Love it too!
My favorite also
The actress who played Marian in this version did the best rendition of "Til There Was You" I ever heard; it nearly brought tears to my eyes.
Kristen Chenoweth, she also was the original Glinda , the Good Witch in Wicked.
@@Subangelis She was really lovely!
I'm the girl. U know I'm sorry...madam.
I admit, Kristin did a fantastic job and did the role as Marian well. For me, the biggest surprise was Molly Shannon as the mayors wife. She really showed she can do musical theater as well as being a comedianne, and Matthew... WOW!
Just like The Sound of Music, The Music Man, is timeless!
who else is watching this in 2019??? ITS SO GOOD
Elle Jensen only because my school is doing this and i have no idea what this is
Livi VanWormer SAME!! no one at my school knows what it is but we’re doing it
2020
Haven't watched it in years. I forgot how good it is. Love Mathew Broderick and Kristin Chenowith together!
2020
What i learned from watching this show
Always have a convenient barbershop quartet
I can't tell you how grateful I am for you posting this full movie to youtube. I love this rendition of this musical; it's my absolute favorite rendition of this story. I love it all and it sticks in my mind so damn well. God bless
When you realize Winthrop will grow up to be a Jedi.
Lol nice
When you realize Winthrop will grow up being Ian Gallagher from Shameless
Peyton Watson When you realize Winthrop with grow up to be a serial killer and criminal minds and later the joker on Gotham
@@abigailcurry4622 They got trouble right there in Gotham City!
When you realize Winthrop is Tom Riddle.
I'm so glad this is fully on TH-cam. I grew up with this version, so although I can acknowledge the better acting and production in the 1962 version, this one still has my loyalty. Also, I just really like Matthew Broderick.
Hi. I have a question. What is Professor Herold Hill’s real name?
@@evelynsmith6997 His friend Marcellus calls him Gregory when he first arrives at the River City hotel, but I don't believe we ever get his last name in the show!
Alex Henderson Ok, well What is the little boy's name and why did he stop talking?
@@evelynsmith6997 The little boy's name is Winthrop, and his sister and mother say that he has had trouble communicating ever since his father passed away.
Alex Henderson Ok what is the name of the vehicle that delivers all of the band instruments?
One of the best musicals ever.
When I was a boy, I played Winthrop in my school's elementary play. Now that I'm older, the nostalgia hits hard and brings a huge grin to my face. Also, Broderick took a little getting used to, but I think they cast him and Chenowith perfectly (but that's just my opinion.) Chenowith has some wonderful pipes! Sing woman, sing!
I just finished a music man play and I was Winthrop and now I have a cornet shaped hole in my life
Ha Im in my school play and I’m playing Winthrop
@@bendyink_yt1348 what year u in i did it in year 9 I’m rlly small
@@captainjimmy2306 year 8
Nice! To lisp, simply replace sss with thhh
Apparently (and am just making an informed guess here folks) apparently, he doesn't know the territory!
Doesn't know the territory?! What's his line?! What's his line?!
Lydia Allen no it's NERF OR NOTHING
ben ferguson they remade Annie and that was a classic
hey this one is better!!!
+Trina Oliver I dont think so but then I am old. Robert Preston was incomparable. What do you think of 'Victor Victoria'? Curious.
The original version will always be number 1 in my heart, but this version was just as heartfelt and well done! Loved Kristen Chenoweth!
Hugh Jackman will return to Broadway next year in the music man as Harold Hill himself Sutton Foster will portay Marion
Robert Preston was just that awesome as Hill. He set the mark impossibly high.
@@oddish4352It is like Gene Wilder in Willy Wonka
@@boscodooley8561 Or Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.
@@oddish4352Very true. It is going to be impossible to replace him. They will have to retire the character
So we have Ferris Bueller hooking up with Glinda? Never thought I'd say that in my life
That voice did sound familiar thanks for reminding me
Or you could say Inspecter Gadget and Cunnagonda (Candide).
It’s Galinda with a “guh “
@@bmcfad12 Ok, Ok. I never thought I’d see Ferris Bueller hooking up with *Galinda* .
Kristen Chenowith's singing blew me away from the very first notes! And Matthew Broderick is amazingly expressive and captivating in his performance!
I was cast as Marian for my musical! I'm so excited! Even though all the odds were against me, I nailed my audition and got the role! Those high notes on My White Knight and Goodnight My Someone will really make my performance. I perform in a few months!
Edit: My best friend also got a lead! She got the part of Amaryllis. I am so excited to do the Goodnight My Someone Scene with her! And she's excited that she gets to call me an old maid in front of hundreds of people.
Second Edit: One month away from opening night. I have gotten my costumes and I am so excited! I love Music Man. The original film is better than the remake, just saying. But this one is also a great film, you just can't replace the original.
Third Edit: Opening night is in 6 days. STRESS!!! But it'll be great! I need more sleep...
Fourth Edit: We closed the show last Saturday and I am so sad about it. I loved the show so much. To any people out there who are pursuing theater or are in a production right now, ENJOY EVERY MINUTE because it's only there so long until it's gone. Music Man will always hold such a special place in my heart, it's the best show I've ever done. The shows went amazing and I can honestly say it was the best thing I've ever done. The happiest 4 months of my life. MM helped me get through the hardest time in my life! But it was also the happiest time in my life. The contrast is interesting. It was the hardest time but it was the happiest I've ever been. I LOVE MUSIC MAN. Music Man FOREVER.
How did it go???
Congrats. It will always be a very special memory. I was in the barbershop quartet in our production. The next year I was Curley in Oklahoma.
Congrats! I just got the role of Amaryllis for my school play as well. Hope it goes good! 🤞
congrats! i tried out and i got salesman 4 💀
@@13blackcatzzz Wow, that barbershop quartet was just amazing!! Amazing how M. Wilson wrote two completely different (and amazing) songs and superimposed them like Lida Rose and Will I Ever Tell You. That was just genius! I guess it took him 8 years to write it because he wanted it to be perfect. It was!
As a music teacher, I'm so happy I found this! We're watching it in class since we have spring break fever
Three cheers for music teachers! One of the few things I liked in school.
...I now officially love this movie!
I absolutely love this version. Both Robert Preston and Matthew Broderick did a wonderful job and brought there own unique taste to the role.
Thank you Lydia...I'm absolutely with you
I was hoping the current Broadway show would star John Michael Higgins of Christopher Guest/Eugene Levy movies, but Hugh Jackman must be great.
@@loriforges6304 I just saw it and I gotta say Hugh is absolutely perfect for the role. I might even prefer him over Preston I’d have to think about it though
*their
No matter who plays the parts. It is a wonderful play, movie and story. Great music it is truly an American treasure
I was searching for the 1962 version, but was pleasently surprised by Broderick's proformance in this. I think he did quite well, and its a good version but will never replace the earlier one with Shirley Jones and Robert Preston.
do you prefer the live musical or the first film adaptation, this version was created as a tv film but the first was a original movie based on the Broadway act, that's why they had the same characters
Andre Morais i really like the broadway musical of meredith willson's the music man on stage the best because everyone joins the band in red and white and gold marching band uniforms in the finale.
I'm just a country boy living out in tge backwoods. Movies are the only way I get to see a great musical. Well that and TH-cam.
can't top them two
his performance is so stiff. just compare to robert preston. robert actually sounds like a salesman.
I believe this remake of the original musical classic is truly a magical, musical classic with its amazing, incredible music, especially its songs, like "76 Trombones" and "'Till There Was You".
I thought Lida Rose/Will I Ever Tell You (superimposed) was about the coolest thing I'd ever heard. M. Wilson was brilliant.
@@ThePianoMan1953 It is indeed. Quite romantic also.
@@spencerbeard7490 Truly! They quartet and Marian were strolling down the street singing two different songs at once and a horse and carriage came clopping by... It was absolutely "magical." ❤ I wish I could go there in a time machine.
A lot of these songs are tongue twisters - Broderick handles that masterfully.
We really need more musicals like this.
And anybody who's anybody KNOWS that ya gotta know the territory
I like the original a bit more, but this has it's own appeal, and a great cast! Thx for the upload.
Of two minds; the original Hill had a sleazy quality of a slightly older, traveling con man that is missing in this presentation. Obviously, MB is very talented, but for my taste (although nobody called me for advice), he's just too, too clean cut and nice. The sprinkling of black characters, a gesture of fairness, falls flat and underscores the little role played by blacks in small Iowa towns of this period.
Clayton Riisoe ... I agree the 1st one from 1962 was the best. But let's face it the top 3 persons in this film had big shoes to fill... Robert Preston and of course Shirley Jones and a Young Ron Howard. One good thing the as close to the original film as possible.
Well I tried getting through this but just couldn't do it. I watched the first train scene and realized it wasn't going well. Not only did they change the words but they messed up the cadence. Then when mb attempted Trouble, it just took a big turn for the worse. It's even worse than the butchering of Miracle on 34th street with what's his name from Will and Grace
Y’all don’t know crap
I love the music man
I'm so excited!I have just gotten cast as Zaneeta Shinn!Its such a lovely role to play!Ye gads!
I absolutely loved this remake! Matthew Broderick is fantastic as Harold Hill. Kristin Chenoweth is lovely as Marian Paroo. Victor Garber is great as Mayor Shinn. Molly Shannon as Mrs. Shinn was a delight.
I remember learning
"76 trombones" in high school music class, in the late 70s / early 80s. ☺ Kristen Chenoweth has a beautiful singing voice ! 🎶
And Ronnie Howard's "Winthrop" is hard to beat ! 🎭
I almost cried when THE BAND finally played!
What a POWERFUL MUSICAL,
Its my SHIPOOPIE ,,,,,,,
Why now that we have abundant supplies of toilet paper again I can sing this song with gusto,
I know I’m late but I heard from the Musical just the day when I decided to see Hugh Jackman on Broadway at the beginning of 2020. Now its 2022 and I’m still a proud ticket holder but hadn’t the chance to travel from Germany to New York through all the Covid restrictions and all.
In preparation I watched the original movie with Preston / Jones and was so impressed…What a wonderful story with great actors and cheerful lovely music. I wasn’t familiar with any of that, but I was especially impressed by Robert. He was so charismatic, cheerful, loud, and convincing that it’s impossible for anybody not to find him absolutely credible as a salesman and as an actor of a salesman.
I found it a wonderful classy musical film made in 1962 a period which I love to see movies because I’m a massive Elvis fan. (He’d had been a wonderful Harold Hill, too)
And then I found out about the 2003 adaption off the musical movie. I decided to watch it not caring very much which actors would have been in the cast. While the train scene at the beginning was rolling, I recognized this cigar smoking man who was just seen from nose to chin…This lips which holding this cigar looked quite familiar to me….
And wow how cool was that when I was finally recognizing that Matthew Broderick was giving the MM. It’s so amazing what authenticity he gives to the role of Harold. I was really amazed how different the Harold can be taken and how good both can be in their own way.
The Harold of Matthew was smooth, sweet, and cheeky. It is the perfect version for television because you see his cute doe eyes, pouty lips in every close up and hear his mesmerizing voice. He shows a totally different way of salesmanship, subtle and charming.... less obvious than Preston’s way but soooo convincing to me. His uhhh and ahhs while praising Eulalie Mackecknie Shinn’s raising of her feet are priceless to me.
I love that Matthew gives Harold a bit of his own personality and interpretation. I was surprised of his beautiful soft singing voice because I never saw him as a Broadway actor… This very many tongue twisters he did with perfection and facility as much as he does dance ….I simply loved to see him dancing and singing through the story…especially the dance with Marian during Social Ball rehearsals, the dance in the library and the dance between Marcellus Washburn and him during the cheerful ‘The sadder but wiser girl for me’ song.
Almost unbelievable he was born at the time the original film was made and is only 3 years younger than Robert when he did his movie.
To make a long story short, for me both version are very good material to get prepared for this beautiful stage play I never knew before…
I partly understand why some of you criticise Matthew’s performance because he is absolutely no Robert. But he didn’t have to for me. He gives Harold his touch and I love it. And of course I adore Victor Garber and Molly Shannon together…Hilarious…
Thank you Robert and Matthew for giving me the Music Man. Now I’m ready for Broadway and can’t wait for Hugh Jackman ermm Harold Hill rocking River City.
THANK YOU @Andre Morais for bring this here on youtube.
The 1962 version is one of my favorite movies ever
This is pretty nice though.
Gorgeous remake of this classic movie. Elegant costumes, great dance numbers, beautiful singing, and so much joy! This film represents the best of American values in film making.
First number with the salesmen in the train, is one of the best patter numbers written. Right up there with similar style numbers in Guys and Dolls and My Fair Lady.
YesssssssssssssSir, YessssssssssssssSir!!
My favorite music class assignment ever even though it took two hours.
I had to watch this in 3rd grade
If he couldn't teach a marching band, he should definitely take up teaching a choir. Just saying. Splendid movie!
This is awful.
I'm in it... how dare you?
@@fjccommish it great!!!
Teach a choir? You do realise they are actors? They are "acting"? In reality it's all made from starched shirts, balloons and sticky tape.
Couldn't teach a choir either you have to read music which he can't do
I'm going to watch The Music Man this Friday at my towns high school
I'm watching this in 2017, I think it's a amazing movie.
Watching in 2019
in 2020 :)
I don't know how I missed this in 2003, I consider myself a bona fide musical theatre man...anyhow...this was delightful. I really really enjoyed it. I loved how the town was filled with African Americans and it was just no big deal. Of course, that was not the reality but the world should have been. Christine was fabulous. Wow...and the direction. Great Job!!!
This would be the kind of Iowa that gave us Duke Slater. Look him up, and you'll smile a bit to yourself.
It was a television movie, so if you weren't watching TV then, and paying attention to what was about to air, then you wouldn't have known, as many of us didn't.
I liked that too, lots of black people among the townspeople and there was no huge fuss about it.
I love the mop at the end...Matthew Broderick really cracks me up haha
This and the Producers proves it. Matt's a real song and dance man. He's no Robert Preston, but he's REALLY good.
The Music Man was never one of my favorite musicals, but with Matthew Broderick, I love it. I really enjoyed he and Kristin Chenoweth together. Well done Mr. Broderick!
Original is the best but both versions are fun to watch. a great movie. thanks.
The finale was amazing. It gives me goosebumps and reminds me of my band days. Marching bands are my favorite kinds of bands. Ever since the 17th century, marching bands have always brought musical joy to soldiers and civilians alike.
I have the 1962 movie version on my regular viewing rotation. I've been in love with Shirley Jones for nearly 50 years. When this version came out, I didn't even give it a chance. But now, over 15 years later, I've watched it with a less prejudiced perspective and find it ultimately satisfying and emotional, especially at the end. The producers made numerous fundamental story changes which have effectively separated this fine adaptation from its incomparable predecessor with grace, style and finesse. I Thank You for putting this out for viewing.
I second your emotion re Shirley Jones! And I'm 68. She's still think one of my feminine ideals.
I admire your ability to express those thoughts so well. I did miss the song "Being in Love" although "My White Knight" was a fine alternative. I thought Kristin was amazing but I really thought "Zaneeta" was so dead on, I couldn't believe it!!!
Very well said! I, too, love the original Preston/Jones version, but this one's growing on me.
Matthew sure needed more recognition for this movie...a wonderful performance...and I am just finding out about it, 20 years later(?) sigh. I do believe Matthew is certainly more a musician than an actor; as I see him always shine out the most in his talents when he's singing and dancing. I also love the arrangement of the dancers and singers in this movie; and oh my, who designed the costumes "superb" indeed.
I love this musical and this is a FANTASTIC movie. I especially like 76 trombones in this movie
You were right, I dont know why this has dislikes. This is a full quality video and it's a very good movie.
I'm in a play for the music man that's y I'm waching It😃
Hi
The music man is a musical not a play
Sammmmeee
Jetta Myllykangas MY DAUGHTER IS TOO
Jetta Myllykangas yep I just performed it the other weekend
Omg I didn’t know this existed! How much fun!!!!! :)
As someone who is a huuuuuuge fan of the original, I just want to say how much I do love and appreciate this version so very much! The same parts that always make me cry still did in this one… beautiful… thank you!
I agree with you completely. I remember the original but really love this.... it's like something beautiful with a fresh coat of paint. I thought Kristin was angelic!!! "Zaneta" was nothing short of adorable!! What a great performance by her.
You can't top the version with Robert Preston and Shirley Jones.
I tell u it’s a close one. This movie was all around the better movie I have to say because the filming and choreography was just better. Robert Preston was the man….but this movie was so fantastic. Srry but true.
Nothing and I mean NOTHING can beat the original movie version EVER!!!!
This show means litaraly everything to me it was the first musical I was ever apart of and it really kicked off my life long love of theater and it warms my heart to think about the memories of putting on this production even though it's been since 6th grade it feels like yesterday
a perfect work of art. remedies all the defects of the original
You mean like the age difference of Marian and Harold? If I could criticize the original at all, I would say (and I've always thought) that Robert Preston seemed a bit old for innocent Marian. He was 16 years older in real life but seemed more then 20 years older. IOW, old enough to be her father. Not really, what I would call, a "Hollywood dream couple."
Loved this movie...actually brought me to tears with emotion. Now to watch the original. I never saw the Music Man!
Con Artist ... Hope you get to watch the original one. They both are good, I think yo6 might enjoy the one 1 watch when I was very young.
One of my favorite musicals. My high school had auditions for the Sound of Music this weekend and I'm watching every musical I can find until tomorrow when we find out our roles. So far I've watched My Fair Lady, and I'm twenty minutes into this one
That's cool. I'm doing this at my school and got Amaryllis
+Ali Joyce Mr. Russionello (Mr. Russ) why?
+Ali Joyce That's soo cool!😂😂😱😱
Davis high school?
we just had our closing night of sound of music (I was Liesl) and they announced that we would be doing music man next year!
You've just gotta love Kathleen marshall's choreography in this musical though!!
Watching this during quarantine 2020.
M3 too
Me too- made me so happy I started juggling rolls of Charmin, which thankfully are now in abundance.
Van Johnson is my favourite ‘Music Man’ ; I listen to the original London cast recording constantly.
hill is funny to me in this movie..I enjoy this movie very much
i love his musical and we are doing it for a school play! i'm marian and i'm so excitied!!
I just saw a high school play of it today ^^
Lucky I'm just a kid in it😢😢😢😢😢
I'm Winthrop lol it's "tho" fun!!
and I'm just a random salesman on the train...
Melody Wizz lolz
I love this 2003 version of Music man. I wonder how the participants lives were enhanced as a results of this wonderful lively musical.
Not a one found it to be a career-booster.
They got paid and they probably had a good time making the movie, right?
A solid version.
Watching Clyde Alves (tommy) dance is my favorite part of this movie.
I enjoyed the remake of the movie. The casting is brilliant. Of course you can not replace Robert Preston and Shirley Jones. They are iconic. Amaryllis and Winthrop really shined. I believe they have bigger careers ahead of them.
Poor and injusticed
Barbara Cook here. Everybody remembers Shirley Jones and forgets Cook who introduced the role of Marian and all the songs .Cheno sang here.
Shirley Jones didnt sing My White knight like did both Barbara and Chenoweth.She sang other song named Being in love in the movie.
Jeff Brunker dont forget Barbara Cook who introduced the role of Marian with Preston and that she only didnt make the movie because Jack Warner wanted a big star to sell the movie so Meredith Willson had to choose between Preston and Barbara Cook and as he wouldnt have made the movie without Preston Shirley Jones was cast after Willson rejected Jean Simmons because he wanted a soprano who could dance as Marian.
.Both Preston and Cook received the Tony Award but neither him not Shirley were nominated for an Oscar but the film was nominated and received one award Best Adapted Musical score.
@@dianaaljadeff2983 The only word for Barbara Cook, person, and voice, is- treasure.
Well, that's very bold...predicting that 15 YEARS(!) after this first aired...lol. The kid who played Winthrop did okay....he's a working actor with some nice credits. "Amaryllis", on the other hand, only had a small handful of credits and hasn't worked in ten years... As the late (SO great!) Meat Loaf almost said - one out of two ain't bad...
The more I watch this version, the more I'm falling in love with this version! It's slick and well-done!
It grows on you in a hurry. Especially the beauty of Kristin Chenowith. (for me)
50 years since my high school did this musical. Great music and even better memories….
This video upload is excellent. The audio has been corrected and is faster than the original television broadcast. That version was soo slow it was almost unwatchable. Don't know why it was "stretched out". but even a second or two faster makes this one perfect. At last I can like this version.
If you ever need to correct audio on a video you watch on You Tube, click on the little gear wheel on the screen and tweak it faster or slower until it is to your liking. Sometimes people change the speed to get around copyright issues.
a very small and cute cameron monaghan!!
Obviously, a lot of effort went into the making of this musical and I found it enjoyable, the barbershop singing very good, dare I say nearly as good as The Buffalo Bills? The original is a hard act to follow but I think this is a brave, worthy remake
Did you even see the guy that they cast to play Hill, WTF pathetic does not even begin to come close to describing his performance (WAY too soft spoken and not nearly pushy nor slippery enough). Admittedly they were never going to match Robert Preston but that was no excuse. I mean if they had tried and failed I could understand and even accept, but they didn't even try. Hell they didn't even try to try!!!
Yeah, the barbershop was terrific, though it's hard to top the Buffalo Bills.
@@lifeontheledgerlines8394 I thought they were brilliant. Loved Lida Rose/Will I Ever Tell You (superimposed) while the horse and buggy clopped by! That was the most magical moment in the "new" movie for me. "He'll Pop....... the question." Brilliant. But who was the pretty blonde (bride) in that hotel scene. She was amazing.
Till There Was You. I first heard this sung by Paul McCartney in the Mid nineteen-sixties on a Beatles LP, now I've disovered the real thing. Beautiful song, beautifully sung. ❤
I didn’t know this masterpiece was free on TH-cam!
This movie was so unbelievably done. Absolutely genius from beginning to end. Matthew was so incredibly smooth. They picked the cast so well. The arrangement of the orchestral work was amazing and magical. I don’t get all the crap hate on this movie. Robert was so dang good, but this movie does this story justice as well. Easily one of the greatest Broadway shows of all time.
FYI, it BEAT West Side Story for the Best Musical Tony Award of 1957. That speaks volumes about how Broadway was absolutely peaking, in this time period.
Along came rock and roll...
Your comments.... all true. I'm a very traditional "old timer" and was very surprised at how much I really loved this 2003 remake. A lot of it had to do with the fact that I fell in love with Kristin Chenowith though. 🤔 I really loved the "Ye-Gods" girl.
we are doing this for our theatre performance and I am a Pick-A-Little Lady and its been soooooo much fun! I love this
KaelenVlogs Likewise. I was Maude.
KaelenVlogs Sorry. Maud*
The late great and lovable Gracie Allen said gossip just goes in one ear...
Very faithful to the original. Thanks for uploading.
Robert Preston and Merdith Willson--two most gifted men.
The Music Man was a recollection of Meredith Willson's Iowa childhood, with artistic license.
“Damnit Griffin, I said no showboating”
Hugh Jackman would’ve been perfect for this role
I agree
No he wouldn’t
@@rajlalitha3809 Actually he is perfect for the role of Harold Hill. Glad the producers of the revival that will be opening on Broadway when it reopens have cast Hugh Jackman.
@@rajlalitha3809 Why not?
Boy do I have news for you
i’m from the town this musical originated from, and i love seeing every musical and movie of it, because they’re all so different and the same in every way!
This musical makes me love River City (or Mason City)Iowa, and as a kid I fell in love with Shirley Jones. And have never been to Iowa yet.
Matthew Broderick & Kristin Chenowith, match made it heaven
I love this musical! I was in a high school production, so much fun!!
Oml don't even get me started. This is the 15th time I've watched it THIS WEEK. Send help! I'm obsessed!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Good Heavens! You must be from Gary, Indiana.
I have done this play 3 times!! I know this by heart! I played Miss Marian(school),alma hix(localJRtheater), and Gracie Shinn(my local collage) I have many fond memories with is show!❤️❤️🎭
I am a huge, huge musical fan! And did not know that there had been a remake of the Music Man in 2003! I absolutely and a huge fan of Matthew Boderick! He is one of the best actors!!!! I know I am going to enjoy this verison of the Music Man for years to come!
I can remember when this premiered when I was 9. Still one of my favorite made-for-tv musicals :)
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME WATCHING THIS MOVIE THE MUSIC MAN
Ohhhhh thank you for even adding the chapters! I can back up to my favorite scenes!
I'm 8 minutes into this and it is obvious that the age of Hollywood Musicals is long gone.
This movie requires more than 8 minutes to get into it: hang in there. :) It truly picks up quite well as it goes along. 🎼🎶😊
Just finished showing this to a room full of aged nuns in a monastery. They loved it, even though it wasn't the original. Much better than I'd feared, given how beloved the original is. Loved seeing Victor Garber as the villain a generation after he played Jesus in the film version of Godspell. Also, did anyone notice the rat fink salesman played by Patrick McKenna -- same actor who plays goofus Harold on the Red Green Show? (Both actors Canadian.) Highly recommended. One caveat: When I streamed this to TV screen it was dark. Be prepared to manually increase the brightness of the picture.
I love ❤ this movie 🎥 I love ❤ Matthew Broderick and Kristen Chenoweth and I think they did a wonderful job remaking an old classic musical.
I absolutely love Winthrop. Anyone else?
I’m so pleased to have found this classic family movie. Thank you for including it on TH-cam.
