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. [More]

Reviews for The Music Man
...never quite becomes as accessible as one would imagine it's meant to be.
Prof. Harold Hill may believe the "think" system will teach his..."band" to play. But no amount of brainpower could make...this Music Man ...anything but derivative.
