Music reviews of Disney Presents The Music Man (2003 TV Film)

Music Review: New Music Man is great, Kristin Chenoweth SHINES
Rating: 5 Stars

I think I should start off by saying that I adore Kristin Chenoweth. I LOVE every song she sings in. I was so happy. She sounds amazing on the CD.

My favorite song on the CD is definetly Goodnight My Someone. It makes me smile. I love this song anyway, but I adore the way Kristin sings it. I could really feel the emotion behind it, and I think that is important.

I was really impressed with the quartet songs. They are fabulous, definetly my favorite of all the different versions of the school board I have heard. They have wonderful voices.

As for Matthew Broderick, I did not know what to expect. I really liked him on The Producers CD, but the reviews said bad things about him in Music Man. I think he does a good job. He definetly does not go at it in the same way as Robert Preston which is good. I always think it is better to do a character your own way instead of imitating someone who made the character famous. My favorite song Matthew sings would be Marian the Librarian. He does a good job on that one.

I was worried about Molly Shannon as Eulalie. I really am not a big fan of Molly's at all. She does much more of a talk-sing thing on the CD. Plus her pick a little ladies have lovely voices to back her up. So that is good.

Cameron Monaghan's (he plays Winthrop) much more natural sounding lisp is great. On other versions of Music Man, I have been known to skip the Winthrop songs because the overexagerrated lisp was annoying. Cameron does not have this problem, so I enjoy his singing much more than other Winthrops.

In general, I think the actors who are not the "stars" sound great on the CD. This is just another reason they should be given some credit in the liner notes. They all sound so fabulous and deserve to have their work acknowledged. Oh, and for the record I adore Debra Monk and wish Mrs. Paroo had more to sing because she is great. Also, I almost wish the Mayor had a song just because I like Victor Garber's singing a lot, but what can you do? The mayor doesn't generally sing.

I loooooove Til There Was You on this CD. It seems like most of the songs Kristin sings start out really slow and quiet. I like this though because you can hear her amazing voice so clearly without a bunch of distracting orchestrations behind it. Can I emphasize anymore how much I love Kristin's singing??? Cause I do. I really do.

My roommate came in while the CD was on and listened to about half of it. She liked Matthew. She thought he sounded pretty good. But she was really excited about Kristin because she adores the Music Man and even saw it a couple years back in NYC. She said that she has always loved Harold's songs and disliked Marian's but she really likes the way they sound on the CD. So that made me smile. Well, I guess that is pretty much what I have to say about the CD. Oh, and listening to Shipoopi makes me want to see the dancing SO bad. Okay, that is all.

If you are trying to decide whether or not to buy this CD, I encourage you to go for it. It is not the same Music Man you are used to, but it is a completely enjoyable new version. It is worth the price just for Kristin Chenoweth's songs as Marian.

Description of Disney Presents The Music Man (2003 TV Film)

Fresh from his Broadway triumph as accountant-turned-con-man Leo Bloom in Mel Brooks's The Producers, Matthew Broderick next tackled another of the American musical theater's most lovable rogues, The Music Man's Professor Harold Hill. As shepherded by the producers of the multi-Oscar®-nominated Chicago, this energetic TV adaptation of Meredith Willson's evergreen plays up its still-potent metaphors of middle-American hope and redemption via sparkling new arrangements, yet wisely grounds its credibility in the subtle dramatic shadings of stars Broderick and Kristin Chenoweth. Vocally, Broderick may lack the bigger-than-life bravado of the original's Robert Preston, but it's precisely that scaled-down sincerity that carries his Hill throughout. Even familiar set pieces like "Seventy Six Trombones," "Ya Got Trouble," "Gary, Indiana," and the show's enduring ballad, "Till There Was You," seem informed from within, rather than splashed with garish production overkill. It's a brisk, smart adaptation of a true American theater icon. -?Jerry McCulley
