Average Rating: Rating: - Broderick shines, Chenoweth SPARKLES Oh, Meredith Wilson and the ever so famous "The Music Man"...i must admit it has never been one of my favorite musicals, but after having watched this performance on TV I definetly have a new opinion of it. The classic Wilson marches (76 Trombones) and quick lyrics (Pick-a-little, talk-a-little and Shipoopie for example)keep your feet tapping and your head bobbing. Matthew Broderick, although no where compares to Robert Preston (but then again who could??), still shines as Harold Hill in his own right. Broderick brings a refreshing, more realistic Hill to the screen and to the music. Whether it be "Trouble" "Marian the Librarian" or "'Til there was you" Broderick shows the comedy, light-hearted persona that he is known for, as well as a romantic tenderness that is just heart melting. Broderick however, does not have the vocal skill to stand up to a singer like Kristin Chenoweth... ....who is simply a DREAM! If you have never heard her sing before you should go check out her solo album, as well as the "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown"(revival cast...she won a Tony!) and "A New Brain" recordings because you will fall in love with her. Chenoweth creates the perfect Marian that captures your heart and your ears. She has such a phenomenal range and performative skill that she brings to her role that clearly distinguishes her from other Marians. She is not afraid to break away from the traditional soprano sound and use her chest voice a little in the lower ranges of the songs, which makes them so much more sincere and emotional. It's a classic musical with some new twists and big names. How can you pass it up?? Rating: - BRILLIANT! (B, and that rhymes with P, that stands for pool! What can I say? I've never seen the original version pouts but this is great! The songs are there in their complete (well, most of them) versions. Matthew Broderick is wonderful and Kristin Chenoweth has a fantastic voice! My only complaint is that it doesn't have the music for "Seventy-Six Trombones" and the magical "Marian the Libarian" dance sequences. I'm not sure if "Shipoopi" is complete, but it sounds like so! If they could release this again with the dance sequences (and the reprise of "Till There Was You" sung by Broderick), I would rate it even higher! Rating: - Kristin Chenoweth's voice..Could silence those 76 trombones! Having seen both Kristen Chenoweth and Matthew Broderick on Broadway...I tuned in to watch The Music Man. Afterward, I had to get this CD. Kristen's star is rising and her voice has an alluring charm and a powerful delivery! It is no easy task to redo a classic, but this CD has brought a new, fresh appreciation to an old favorite. If you want a CD that just makes you smile and feel good...this is the Cd to buy! It is well worth the money just to hear Kristin's delivery of the shows famous songs! Well done, and if you're going to make a "remake" of some of Broadway's most famous songs...then this CD delivers...and Kristin is undoubtably its STAR!!! I can't wait for the DVD to be released!
