The Music Man - Part 1 

“Incredible. One of the worst performances of my career and I never doubted it for a second.”

totally missed that

One of the main points of this entire song was the fact that what they were saying went along with the sounds and movements of the train.

Yeah I noticed that, I just think that the yes sir part is the coolest. Thanks for telling me though!

@@echadwick3916 nice rhythm.😊

Ray Banger It’s true. He owned that role both on Broadway and in the original movie.

Just watched this version for the first time. Preston had more charisma than the entire cast here combined.

@@martinepstein9826 Wadya talk, wadya talk, wadya talk !!!

100%. I've also felt that way about Rex Harrison in "My Fair Lady".

Hugh Jackman: Hold my beer!

Me too Now people are incredibly idiotic because of stupid trends like Gucci gang and tide pods

Yeah I really wanna wear knickerbockers and...overalls. Dress normally

Nothing’s stopping you.

@@AKAdaJoker14 Trenchcoats and Fedora Hats the excellent touch for the Winter.

I was just saying that to me please thanks for telling me that I have to go to the bathroom and get my hair done earlier and I can go to the store 😔 I am trying calling me and I can go to the store and get it tomorrow and then go back to work tomorrow if you can get a chance to the store for me to get it tomorrow and I would like to go to the store Robbie Hagberg

You're right! I was introduced to this version first, then watched the original on my own a few years later. I can understand being a purist and wanting to preserve something as dynamic as the inimitable performance of Robert Preston, but for me, I just enjoy this one sooo much more. The supporting cast, the costumes, choreography, and tempo of the remake buoy up Matthew Broderick, as opposed to one performer carrying the entire show in the original. Shirley Jones was also very good, but I just enjoy Kristin's singing sooo much more. One thing about the original that feels less than the remake is the casting of Buddy Hackett as Marcellus; I always felt like that guy was supposed to be a right-hand man, a lieutenant of sorts; kinda like Will Scarlett to Robin Hood. The Marce in the remake fit that role much better. The original is still the superior film, when taken based solely on the merit of the title character, however, I own the dvd of this version and can honestly say that I made the better choice for myself. I say see both versions and decide for yourself which one does it better for you. Robert Preston is THE MAN, but it's the remake all the way for me as the more satisfying film. Thanks for posting!

Matthew Broderick Can’t Act. He is a dead body

I'm glad they did the song uncut (unlike the Preston version) but bringing in the orchestra halfway through ruins the effect. The WHOLE POINT of the number is to make music out of idle chatter. It's like the director didn't trust the material.

@@ericgrunin Wadya talk, wadya talk, wadya talk!!!

Try listening to each with your eyes closed. In the 62 movie you can clearly hear each character. In this one, I don't think that you can.

I disagree

Flint25 Society will thank them later.

Additional music during the excellent vocals seems too much and just... overkill for such a great musical number

I disagree.

Seth Tyrssen I

Copy that many times over.

George Strum Don't be sorry if you're honest.

Yes, I don’t like the choreography in this version or that the camera changes from outside to inside, to the cards to the cigar every 5 seconds

Performance yes, but this version is closer to the original script.

@@Yannis1a You're right, too many cuts to the bottom of "Harold Hill's" face. We're not supposed to figure out that he's on the train until the end. It's a distraction.

Indeed it is!!!!!!! didn't realize it until just now!

Andrew Crumb I wonder how they found that.

Implies that it was lost. Collectors will kill their own children to get hold of items like that.

I did that play

Matt Pressman Pressman sadly seventy now

I'm from Iowa. I know the territory....

83 now

Matt Pressman Pressman like you XD just kidding

I feel like the fellow from the older movie had a stronger voice for the role, kind of the same for some of the others too, not as booming of voices as some of the older fellows. Though might just also be bias having seen that one first long ago and even recently when I watched it again.

Mike Hruby these are the lyrics from the original Broadway version

@@marlzach I thought there was something missing when I last watched this scene from the original. I could've sworn I had more "wheredyagetit"s in my high school production.

Tyson Cheshire personally you're FUCKING WRONG COME AT ME

Hit Now Hey hey! no need for that. I posted this before I got to know the music of Hamilton. I take it back. Although this is cool, it doesn't beat Hamilton.

Tyson Cheshire maybe the song but not the singing

Flint 25 woah be careful A bunch of angered Hamilton fans are gonna come at you now #newsflash you can like whoever you want, there’s no right or wrong answer as to who’s better

lilly denim watch the original 1962 version. In fact watch the whole original movie. Preston is a charismatic goldmine.

Nice Train. Looks like a Live action version of The Big Strong Engine from The Little Engine that Could.

No that wrecks it. They shouldn't tamper with the material, which is a masterpiece. This is supposed to be acapella and a rhythmic spoken word piece.
