That little red head kid is adorable! of course its hard beat ron howard, but hes pretty damn cute! i liked a lot of the supporting characters as well. did anyone else think Cheno seemed to old to have the same mother as that little boy?!?

I had the same issue of believability when I saw Annie Get Your Gun. Those kids couldn't have been older than 12 at the most and they're sister is in her 50s?

Annis is like 20-30s, but teh actresses have always been old
i think matthew broderick did the best he could in a role he should never have been cast in, so i gotta give him credit for that much (see also jessica boevers in oklahoma).
how come nobody is mentioning Cheno's AWFUL crazy hats in this movie? And every dress she wore looked exactly the same, just different colors. She sounded lovely though.
anyone know where I can download the songs she sings in this show? Itunes doesn't have it.

those hats are awful, but cheno doesn't pick them out. i love this movie, but i think that they could have put a better actor in for Hill.
Killed Molly Shannons career ( or helped)
Easily the "worst movie ever!"

I also think they should have rerun the Robert Preston version as well.
I am not familiar with the Music Man and was wondering why he was talking in rhythm, although he sang some things. I didn't watch the whole movie because I went out. Kristen Chenoweth has a pretty voice, though. Overall, I am not that interested in the movie.
Yay!

Instead of this over-produced piece of nonsense, I wish they'd just filmed the stage production and let it go at that: you had those great costumes for the town ladies (that visually turned them into chickend) and that amazing Wells Fargo coach. It would have been far more entertaining.
but come on, Matthew Broderick is adorable in anything!
No! Matthew sucks in anything. DIE BROADERICK! DIE DIE DIE!

Well Bob you are entitled to your opinion, but I adore Matthew. I really don't think he was right for the role, but I will love him in anything, forever. And if he DIES I will be terribly upset!
The thing I think is odd about the movie is that it had such a talented cast, yet was so mediocre. Bizzare.
Its bobo

The revival was better in my opinion. Though I do enjoy some of the film ensemble
The entire movie would have been much better with almost anyone else as Harold Hill. Matthew Broderick , for want of a better word, sucked.

sorry Bobo!
South Fl Marc - really ? you thought he was THAT bad? I thought he seemed a little too, well feeble for lack of a better word, but he wasn't that awful - just too sweet perhaps. I can think of a few people he was probably better than. Rosie O'Donnell perhaps? Actually that would have been pretty amusing...
Say what you want about the overall production, but Chenoweth's "Goodnight My Someone" was exquisite.
Pitch, control, support. Perfection.
Matt Broderick had ONE facial look the entire time. Glassy eyed dumbfound look. Kristin Chenoweth singing "My White Knight" was great, but besides that it was just stinky.

i would pay to hear kristin sing anything. even 'happy birthday'! that girl has a range the size of a mountain! (a really big mountain)

I'm sorry but Cheno's singing is not that great in this show. Did they lower the keys for her? Broderick is too lame as Hill. Victor Garber is not buffoonish enough. The whole thing is just sad.
Its a good show and Cheno rocked in it, but M. Brod. cant sing and it annoys me. Thats my opinion. :-/
