From the executive producers of the Academy Award(R)-winning musical CHICAGO (Best Picture, 2002) comes a fresh interpretation of an all-time classic. Featuring some of the most beloved songs in history, THE MUSIC MAN "is impossible to resist" raves TV Guide. Con man "Professor" Harold Hill (Tony Award winner Matthew Broderick, 1995 Best Actor, Musical) arrives in River City, Iowa, promising that he can teach the small town's children how to play in a magnificent marching band. It's all part of a big swindle, but falling in love with the town librarian (Kristin Chenoweth) wasn't part of the deal. Also starring Victor Garber and Molly Shannon, THE MUSIC MAN is an irresistible production the whole family will enjoy.

Music to my ears!

This is a fantastic musical. This movie was very well made. If you are a fan of musicals you will love this classic.

Seventy Six Trombones Led The Big Parade.......

"The Music Man" is the story of professional con artist Professor Harold Hill, who sets out to con the citizens of River City, Iowa into forming a boys band. During his scheme he meets up with his old buddy Marcellis, who informs him of the new pool table Mayor Shinn has recently installed in the billard parlor. This piece of news gives Harold Hill the "trouble" he needs to convince the good citizens of River City that the only way to prevent corruption in their children is to form a boys band. Along the way he encounters Marian Paroo, the local librarian/music teacher, her mother Mrs. Paroo and her brother, Winthrop. Marian attempts to expose Hill for the fake he is, but in the end after seeing how he treats her mother and brother she falls head over heels for Hill. In the meantime Mayor Shinn pursues the adventure of obtaining Hills credentials however he is foiled at every turn by Hill himself with the help of the River City School Board. This new version of "The Music Man" contains the original score/story by Meredith Wilson with a fresh cast of talented performers. Matthew Broderick shines as Professor Harold Hill with Christian Chenoweth playing the role of Marian the Librarian, Debra Monk as Mrs. Paroo, Victor Garber as Mayor Shinn and Molly Shannon as Mrs. Shinn. This movie is one you will want to enjoy over and over again with your family.

Unexpectedly Pleasing TV Production

I am a big fan of the Preston/Jones version of Meredith Wilson's "The Music Man" and purchased this DVD only because I think Kristin Chenoweth has one of the best singing voices currently performing. Matthew Broderick, while no Robert Preston, was not nearly so bad as I expected. Kristin Chenoweth was even better in the role (in my opinion) than Shirley Jones had been, and that's quite an achievement -- her performance moved this from 2.5 stars to 4, all by itself.
