The only part I dont get about the ending is this: When the bad suddenly becomes "good/amazing" is that just in their heads, like is that just how they are feeling and its a creative "transition" used by the director? Or is that actually a real parade?
The beginning of the movie was July 4th. And it takes about 6 weeks for uniforms and instruments to arrive. It's about Mid-August at the end. So, they celebrate July 4th in mid-August? Must be an Iowa thing.
@ashto2424 that happens to be a mop to start with. after that, it's a mace. If there is such a thing as a one sided baton, I've certainly never heard of it. Sure, it's not a huge mace, but it's most definitely a mace.
Wow. Kristin Chenoweth's acting SUCKS in this film. She shows absolutely no emotion or passion for what she's portraying. Subtlety is not for musical theatre, ESPECIALLY for a show like The Music Man. Watching her is like watching a middle school production Marian Paroo. Geeze, thank God for the 1962 version.
Many of the lyrics and small lines were easier to understand in this version. For example, I never knew the Shipoopy was about the "girl who's hard to get". The best thing about this film, though, was Cameron Monaghan as Winthrop. How adorable is that kid? He was actually the reason I looked this video up, after seeing some of his more recent work.
@rfresa that's a matter of opinion. I understood both but the sound and the dialogue, I believe, are better in the original. Besides, as I mentioned about opinion, Ron Howard is better as Withrop. And who can possibly beat Robert Preston and Shirley Jones?
It's interesting to see the differences between this and the earlier film version of the Music Man. Matthew Broderick has been a favorite of mine for a long time, but there were some parts of this where his face was kind of stiff; I would have liked to see him smile more. Kristen Chenowith was amazing, as usual.
The only thing about this story that I don't get is that, in all the years Prof. Hill was forming bands, he never bothered to pick up a book on music theory. Do that & you not only form the band but you can at least pass them off long enough to get out before things get bad.
For those of you who are all spazzing over who Broderick is, I will list a few "famous" characters: Adult Simba (voice), Ferris Bueller, Despereaux (voice), Steve Finch (Deck the Halls), Leopold Bloom (The Producers), Inspector Gadget. The list continues. Oddly enough, This is not Broderick's only film with Chenoweth. They were in Deck the Halls together as well. He played Steve Finch and she played the opposing neighbor's (Buddy Hall-Danny Devito) wife.
....The word 'Shropshire' is pronounced "SHROP-shir", not "SHROP-SHIRE". I don't think that was a character choice to go along with Mayor Shinn's botched pronunciations, I think that was another example at the lack of a speech/dialect coach in this film. Ugh!
@LaMostraESopra Actually, it was an example of his role in the musical as a ridiculous character. He was probably supposed to pronounce that word and several other words incorrectly while thinking he's totally the man. Fits the character. It establishes him further as a character the audience isn't supposed to like, he's both the antagonist and a grammar-deficient moron.
@caitlyneandaolanie ohh good luck!! that was one of my choices, but the key we had to sing it in was so high, so i went with wells fargo wagon. i found out yesterday i made the musical(:
i'm auditioning for music man in a few days, singing one of marian's songs, and performing her part. i was SOO nervous. watching kristin chenoweth has INSPIRED me. its all thanks to her, i have so many ideas and an amazing role model in acting and singing. thank you kristin!
I think all of the actors were fantastic, including Matthew Broderick and ESPECIALLY Kristen Chenoweth. She's a true Broadway baby and I love her to death!! She and Idina Menzel are THE modern Broadway greats, and Kristen's appearance made the movie that much better :)!!!!!!
watch the video in my channel. it will direct you to a website where you will be able to watch the full 1962 version of music man. IT WORKS I PROMISE.
well i just love this version. mathew broderick and kristin chenowith did great. This version is definitly better than the original. i mean not that i dont like robert's version of harold hill, but mathew was way more of a charmer and he was way more enthusiastic. I could actually feel the chemistry between mathew and kristin!
I was an extra in this movie, If you pause at 6:54 I'm the kid being help by the older man. I believe this was done right around when I was seven at the time, and now I'm 16 I got to meet Mathew Broderick. It was an amazing experience to get a taste of movie making and to meet so many influential people

when i first heard that there was a 2003 version of The Music Man, i was disgusted because remakes are terrible. but this remake it actually pretty good.
Nice Version. I Liked The Outfits In The Old One Better, Though. Shirley's Dress In "Till There Was You" Was Really Pretty And The One Where She Encounters Charlie
"she has a lovely voice" ...well, you better do if you are actually an opera singer!! Oh man...
This movie is absolutely fantastic! Broderick like usually: only has one facial expression (and his grin in "Marian, the Librarian" was scary! xD) but his voice is really good :D And Kristin is such a cutie! The little boy (can't spell his name...) reminded me of one of the "Die kleinen Strolche" (is it "Little Rascalls" in English? @.@) and he was soooooo cute!! Very well done!
watching this brings back so many memories from when i was in this play. thanks for uploading the vid! ppl stop hating on the movie. if there was no original you all wouldve loved this version. this was done very well
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Well, this movie had a LOT to live up to, and unfortunately, neither of the main actors had the ability to do it. However, Broderick gave me a pleasant surprise with his ability to sing and sing well. The girl who played Marian has a lovely voice too, but it just didn't have the sheer quality that Shirley Jones had.
I will give the makers a thank you for doing their best and NOT taking a classic movie and changing it into pure garbage like happened with the Miracle on 34th Street remakes.
"That girl" is Kristin Chenoweth- and her singing and acting ability runs circles around Momma Partridge. If you don't know the name look her up, she is one of the absolute greats of modern day Broadway.
@authorgirl87 I must respectfully disagree. Anyone who saw Oklahoma! with Shirley knows that this movie didn't scratch the surface of her vocal talents.
@authorgirl87 *bristles* Kristen Chenoweth is exceptionally talented, and indeed. HOWEVER
Shirley Jonas is a legend. She is so much more than 'momma patridge'. She starred in many musicals not because she was charismatic (which she was) or because she was beautiful (which she was) or because she had an excellent voice (which she undeniably did) or because the people writing the musicals (you know Rodgers, Hammerstein, Meredith Wilson) liked her. But because she is and was THE BEST.
bah, I wish the actual stage production had this awesome of an ending. ): I'm playing Marian, and the ending is just she and Harold embracing as the band plays badly. curtain falls. the end.
Thanx for posting the movie for us. I actually seen this version before the original and I must say I like both of them equally. They have their own touch to it. I'm also playing Charlie Cowell In my play and it's really fun being the bad guy haha.
I never enjoyed plays or musicals or even watched them--til now. But what effort one can make on youtube for another's enjoyment--is priceless. Thank you! pt 05/18/2009
This is a pretty good remake. No one can really touch the original though - its the best one. I really loved Kristin and Matthew's chemistry - the seem to work really well together. The only thing I had a problem with the posts, is that on half on them, the timing of the video and audio was off! :(
idk what everybody's complaining about. I think Matthew Broderick did a fantastic job as Harold Hill. He definitely made it his own, and added a certain charm to the character.
I loved it! Aaah i was beaming at the end. Hehe Kristin and Matthew turn your heart to gold ^^ Im soo getting the movie now! Thankyou so much for posting it.
You can actually see the change of heart here. At the end of the old one, I always wondered why everyone was standing up for him. Here it all makes sense.
What in the heck is wrong with you?! If you didn't like this, then why bother to watch it? That was definitely something you ought to have kept to yourself there. :/
Thanks for uploading this. I had a blast watching all 17 videos all in one night (took 4 hours). I have seen the original, and I say they both good as they are. Both movies have good points-- this one for acting, the original for singing. Plus, the kicker was I felt like I was in my childhood again since then I have come to love musicals.
thanks for haveing the 17 vids of this i loved the original but i truly liked this version alot with the actors (sighs at Mathew) 5 stars thanks again
Best musical ever. I seem to remember a wedding thrown in there some time though..... In the live professonl production that I was in Marian and Harold got married at the end. Whatever..... It's still by far the best musical EVER!
I went looking for songs from this musical because I am trying out for a community theatre production tomorrow night and hadn't seen the film since I was a kid. I hadn't seen this version before, but I am SO grateful to CastingAway for posting the entire thing! Now I feel a lot more prepared...thanks! XD
This is the first time I've seen this musical. It is now one of the top musicals i've ever seen! Thanks so much for sharing!!! :) It totaly made me cry when he started singing "Till There was You" to Marianne. Awe!!!
Fricken love this! I'll be playing as Marian in our school musical(:

The original is the best. But this is so good! Love Kristin Chenoweth and Matthew Broderick.
hahaha Meredith Willson certainly understood parents. The children play horrifically, but the simple fact that it is THEIR children saves Hill's hide!

You can actually see the change of heart here. At the end of the old one, I always wondered why everyone was standing up for him. Here it all makes sense.

The original is better. Especially because of that psycho hat.

What in the heck is wrong with you?! If you didn't like this, then why bother to watch it? That was definitely something you ought to have kept to yourself there. :/

Just saying what I think.
Or am I not allowed to do that anymore?
Pansy1980 3 years ago
Well, there are some things people should keep to themselves.
"Thank God thats over and I never have to endure that ever again!"
You made it as though you were forced to watch this or something.

That was nice of Disney to remake this film to remind us of the wonder of musicals

Thanks for uploading this. I had a blast watching all 17 videos all in one night (took 4 hours). I have seen the original, and I say they both good as they are. Both movies have good points-- this one for acting, the original for singing. Plus, the kicker was I felt like I was in my childhood again since then I have come to love musicals.

Oh, and I forgot to say I absolutely love the "colorblind" casting in this film! It's simply divine.

Best musical ever. I seem to remember a wedding thrown in there some time though..... In the live professonl production that I was in Marian and Harold got married at the end. Whatever..... It's still by far the best musical EVER!
BabyPolkaDot 3 years ago
I've seen the show several times, and there's never been a wedding, so I think that was probably just something your director decided to do.

I went looking for songs from this musical because I am trying out for a community theatre production tomorrow night and hadn't seen the film since I was a kid. I hadn't seen this version before, but I am SO grateful to CastingAway for posting the entire thing! Now I feel a lot more prepared...thanks! XD
