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 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
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!
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 🇺🇸
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.
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.
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.
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 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!
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
@@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!
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.
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!
@@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
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 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!!!
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".
@@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.
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 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
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 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.
@@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.
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
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
One of my favorite musical! Such amazing music! So blessed and honored I was able to be in my schools production! MEREDITH WILSON IS AMAZING, AND NEEDS TO BE MORE APPRECIATED.
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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...
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!!!
@@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.
Charlotte Spears he did well, although Robert Preston really hit it out of the park. One thing that I couldn’t get over was how young Matthew Broderick looks.
+MB LaFantano heh this movie might as well be a prequel to Ferris Bueller. It could be like his great grandfather. I love the fact that both characters are almost the same, but just from different times
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
Hard to be believe the adorable little boy who played Winthrop in this film is the same guy who's now playing the Joker in Gotham, even as a child he was a really good actor.
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 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.
As someone who's never seen the original, I thought this was great. You can say it wasn't as good as the original, but you can't say it's terrible, because that's completely biased.
plupap ..youre are right this isn't terrible. I grew up when the big thing was the Music Man in 1962. This is a well made remake of a master piece. I did enjoy this vision completely.
Daniel DuBois Mathew Broderick I was miscast as Harold Hill. Watch Robert Preston and you get the depth of the character. Broderick is mechanical in his performance and vanilla. Zero charisma. Harold Hill is spellbinder and bigger than life. Broderick is anything but. Watch the original. Night and day. In fact, when they made the original movie the studio wanted Frank Sinatra to play Harold Hill. Meredith Wilson said no. Only Robert Preston could play Professor Hill. I was in the chorus of a stage version starring Van Johnson and Linda Michelle. Mr. Johnson blew Broderick out of the water. Dick Van Dyke also toured in The Music Man. He too was great! Broderick plays cute and innocent very well. Hill is not cute and anything but innocent. Broderick was miscast.
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."
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.
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!
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.
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 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!

@@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
We really need more musicals like this.
I'm so excited!I have just gotten cast as Zaneeta Shinn!Its such a lovely role to play!Ye gads!
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!
Kristen Chenowith's singing blew me away from the very first notes! And Matthew Broderick is amazingly expressive and captivating in his performance!
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 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

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.
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 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.
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'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
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
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'm going to watch The Music Man this Friday at my towns high school
Why does Harold Hill remind me of Pee-Wee Herman in this. XD
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
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.
The 1962 version is one of my favorite movies ever
This is pretty nice though.
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.
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 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
Watching in 2023! I've never seen this version, and it's phenomenal! Thanks for sharing🥁🎺🎷🎵
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 lot of these songs are tongue twisters - Broderick handles that masterfully.
My favorite music class assignment ever even though it took two hours.
I had to watch this in 3rd grade
Ohhhhh thank you for even adding the chapters! I can back up to my favorite scenes!
One of my favorite musical! Such amazing music! So blessed and honored I was able to be in my schools production! MEREDITH WILSON IS AMAZING, AND NEEDS TO BE MORE APPRECIATED.
Who did you play
I’m so pleased to have found this classic family movie. Thank you for including it on TH-cam.
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 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,
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!!
I absolutely love this! Thank you so much for uploading it! It really helps since I am in the music man play at my school❤️❤️❤️❤️
50 years since my high school did this musical. Great music and even better memories….
Thank you for uploading this!! Appreciate it so much!
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...
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
Original is the best but both versions are fun to watch. a great movie. thanks.
I can remember when this premiered when I was 9. Still one of my favorite made-for-tv musicals :)
I love the mop at the end...Matthew Broderick really cracks me up haha
You were right, I dont know why this has dislikes. This is a full quality video and it's a very good movie.
For some reason it cracks me up that a full hour and a half of the movie has been labeled "The Mayor"
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.
I love the music man
Not bad at all for a re-make. I kinda liked Matthew Broderick as Prof. Harold Hill.
Charlotte Spears he did well, although Robert Preston really hit it out of the park. One thing that I couldn’t get over was how young Matthew Broderick looks.
Not sure why it needed to be remade.
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.
This and the Producers proves it. Matt's a real song and dance man. He's no Robert Preston, but he's REALLY good.
You've just gotta love Kathleen marshall's choreography in this musical though!!
I love this musical and this is a FANTASTIC movie. I especially like 76 trombones in this movie
Van Johnson is my favourite ‘Music Man’ ; I listen to the original London cast recording constantly.
Was anyone else thinking Ferris Bueller in all over Matthew Broderick's parade scenes?
- Yes , I Thought I Was The Only One .
Ndia Liphford Trust me you never were lol
+MB LaFantano heh this movie might as well be a prequel to Ferris Bueller. It could be like his great grandfather. I love the fact that both characters are almost the same, but just from different times
MB LaFantano lol me I love Ferris bueler
No, because I HATE Ferris Bueller!
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...
hill is funny to me in this movie..I enjoy this movie very much
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!
Hard to be believe the adorable little boy who played Winthrop in this film is the same guy who's now playing the Joker in Gotham, even as a child he was a really good actor.
Very faithful to the original. Thanks for uploading.
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)
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!❤️❤️🎭
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!!!!
What a great movie in so many ways! I played in the pit orchestra in high school in 1973! Great play and great movie 🍿!!! 👍😃
im watching this for a drama class so i can fit in with the theater kids
Me rn except I’m quite literally just required to watch this, and am just a backstage kid 😭
I love this musical. Both movie versions. It's just what the world needs.
As someone who's never seen the original, I thought this was great. You can say it wasn't as good as the original, but you can't say it's terrible, because that's completely biased.
plupap ..youre are right this isn't terrible. I grew up when the big thing was the Music Man in 1962. This is a well made remake of a master piece. I did enjoy this vision completely.
You are correct. This is not terrible. But the original was so good that this only seems terrible by comparison.
..and you can like the impossible whopper even though you've never had a real whopper. Everyone has their own opinion.
I thought this remake was great 👍🏽.
Daniel DuBois Mathew Broderick I was miscast as Harold Hill. Watch Robert Preston and you get the depth of the character. Broderick is mechanical in his performance and vanilla. Zero charisma. Harold Hill is spellbinder and bigger than life. Broderick is anything but. Watch the original. Night and day. In fact, when they made the original movie the studio wanted Frank Sinatra to play Harold Hill. Meredith Wilson said no. Only Robert Preston could play Professor Hill. I was in the chorus of a stage version starring Van Johnson and Linda Michelle. Mr. Johnson blew Broderick out of the water. Dick Van Dyke also toured in The Music Man. He too was great! Broderick plays cute and innocent very well. Hill is not cute and anything but innocent. Broderick was miscast.
I have the original music man on dvd, but I also really enjoy this one. This one just seems like a comfort movie.
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 love this musical! I was in a high school production, so much fun!!
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."
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.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you so much for uploading this wonderful film, this makes my day.
40:52 if u personally like the quartet
I do ;)
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!
