About this product

Product Information

This made-for-television movie adapts the story from the classic Broadway musical, THE MUSIC MAN. Professor Harold Hill (Matthew Broderick), an energetic con artist, convinces the citizens of a small turn-of-the-century community to form a boy's marching band -- which he plans to lead. However, he doesn't plan to fall in love, with the town librarian (Kristin Chenoweth). The wrinkle in his plan makes for much comedy, and the program features classic songs, such hits as "76 Trombones," "Ya Got Trouble," and many more.

Another Music Man
I never thought I'd ever see another 'Music Man' movie besides the Robert Preston version. Along came Matthew Broderick's rendition and it surprised me. Excellently done and almost a rival to the Preston classic. One thing I always noticed in the original was the woeful lack of performers who were other than Caucasians. The Broderick version has a nice mix of Latino and African- Americans actors as a town the size of River City, Iowa would have. I fell in love with Kristin Chenoweth too and she all but outdid Shirley Jones as Marion. Recommend you seeing this and enjoying it as much as I did.

Great second take
Matthew Broadwick was a hit as Ferris Buller and he did it again as Prof. Hill. Just enough difference in interpretation. Great supporting cast. Not quite on the grand scale as the original.

Music Man DVD
High quality production but falls short of the Warner Bros. original with Shirley Jones and Robert Preston. MPS

Lots of fun!
Love the music. There are several "toe-tapping" songs in the movie. Lots of good humor as well.

Another "Music Man" for the complete video library
interesting version. in some ways better than the 1962 film. some ways not. scenes are added that are not in the original broadway show. different but definitely worth owning.
