One year later: What theatre was this performed in? The stage reminds me of Glendale Center Theatre (Glendale, CA) but I haven't seen that many others in the round to compare with. Please supply a little information about the theatre and cast. About 25 years ago I played Marcellus on an even smaller stage in dinner theatre. Meredith Willson attended. He wasn't thrilled. Must have been my fault!
@Largo64 This took place in a theater in So. Utah a few years ago. Unfortunately the building has since been torn down. I love your story about Meredith Wilson, haha. :)
Im harold hill in my schools musical im so nervous! I screwed up seventy six tromobones in front of people before, its so nervracking..i hope i dont screw up!
Excellent job, only criticism would be that the Harold Hill character is a little slow, he isn't tryin to catch the peoples mind up in a wirlwind of consequences. He ain't sellin it enough. But, He is MARVELOUS!!! The whole play is much better done than all the others Ive seen so far.
This is extremely good. I just played Harold Hill at my high school. I had such a hard time with this song, mainly because my music director said he would conduct it to how I did it and I learned it very fast and then he had no flexibility and barely worked on any of the music. He really pissed me off. It is on my profile. The video quality isn't as good as this though.
I'm currently being considered for Harold Hill in a community theater production of Music Man and I just wanted to say I took some inspiration for my Harold from yours. Thanks for the great performance example, I'm very impressed! I loved what you did with this song! Hopefully I'll get to play the professor too.
Thanks for the comments walkerbrad. It was important to me to clear my mind of Robert Preston (the original music man) and try to build Harold Hill from the ground up... even though I'm sure a lot of Preston snuck in. It is such a fun role, and I wish you the best on your audition!
I just found out today that I got Harold! I'll also try to remove all aspects of Preston and make him my own, but that probably prove difficult as you said.
Very nice job! My high school is going to put on this production in May. I'm getting lots of costumes ideas from your videos and I'm very impressed. Thanks a bunch!
This was pretty good. My school did it also this year. If I can get a copy of ours I'll put it up. This scene was done A LOT faster. But this wasn't bad.
Thanks, I was fortunate enough to play Prof. Hill in this production. I loved this particular number, but they sure had me running all over the stage!
i have to right a report on this musical for music class omg and need bunch of paragraphs

Great job. I'm curious... as Mayor Shinn would say, 'where's the band?' Seriously, I'm wondering where is the pit located for this show?
