The newest Production of "The Music Man"

The Music Man by Meredith Wilson is one of the great musical to come out of the 1950ths. It starred Robert Preston and Barbara Cook on Broadway. A big movie also with Robert Preston but with Shirley Jones doing Marian was produced.

This was in 2003 and stars Matthew Broderick. That's the problem. Matthew Broderick looks like a kid. Harold Hill should be played by an older man.

I must add the production is good. River City looks good. The townspeople are well done. The supporting roles are all good.

The Music Man is still enjoyable and fun to watch. 76 Trombones is the best march ever done in a musical. Trouble is a great fun number. The barbershop quartet is very good and the numbers they do are enjoyable.
