Features: DVD
From the executive producers of the Academy Award-winning musical Chicago (Best Picture, 2002) comes a fresh interpretation of an all-time classic. Featuring some of the most beloved songs in history, The Music Man "is impossible to resist" raves TV Guide. Con man "Professor" Harold Hill (Tony Award winner Matthew Broderick, 1995 Best Actor, Musical) arrives in River City, Iowa, promising that he can teach the small town's children how to play in a magnificent marching band. It's all part of a big swindle, but falling in love with the town librarian (Kristin Chenoweth) wasn't part of the deal. Also starring Victor Garber and Molly Shannon, The Music Man is an irresistible production the whole family will enjoy.
"Matthew Broderick is such a likable performer..." Edward Gutthman, San Francisco Chronicle
Editor's Note
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.
