"Will" adds full "Grace" to this Music Man production

by cyndialu , Jul 05 '01
Pros: Eric McCormack RULES! Excellent vocals, ensemble tightly rehearsed, choreography outstanding
Cons: Theater was not only HOT but also ran out of bottled water that night!
Before early 2000, I never watched Will and Grace so I never knew who Eric McCormack was. Then, once I became a fan of the show, I knew who Eric McCormack was but never thought him to be especially appropriate for a Broadway show. In fact, in one...

76 Trombones Led the Greatest Musical on Broadway

by rockinrobin , Jul 11 '00
Pros: Very funny and cleverly done.
Cons: --
Although I have always been a big fan of musicals, particularly the ones I see on Broadway, but The Music Man is one of my favorites. It is extremely funny with a lot of twists.

It is about a con-man, Professor Harold Hill, who tries to make...

Music Music Music

by andilwaz , Apr 17 '01
Pros: Great Music, Excellent Dancing, Amazing Sets.
Cons: A little long, and the understudy is a disappointment compared to Craig Bierko
This show was amazing. The classic Music Man was brought back to life in the costumes and the amazing sets. The entire cast was fantastic. Their performance in the musical productions gave me chills. Rebecca Luker's amazing voice and talents made the...

Music Man- defines the Broadway musical

by Minstrelette Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Feb 19 '01
Pros: great music, great dancing, Craig Bierko
Cons: Craig Bierko is leaving May 6
First of all, my lack of writing has not been because of the re-designing of this site. I just moved and have been dealing with all the hassles of that. Things are calming down, and I hope to be contributing to this site more often. Now on to the ...

A Revival that Sings

by sherrycp , May 09 '00
Pros: Dancing, lead actor and actress
Cons: tough ticket
I just spent a week in NYC and saw 7 plays and the new "Music Man" was among the best. If you can only think of Robert Preston as Harold Hill, fear not. Craig Bierko fills the role nicely. First off, he sounds a bit like Preston. But he's...

76 CHEERS for a great show!

by spodgorski Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 18 '00
Pros: GREAT acting, dancing, choreography, singing
Cons: none (unless you are 10 years old, then it is a little long)
*NOTE: this is a duplicate post because for some reason it wasn't showing up under this title (probably because I wrote about the play before it was listed with Epinions...)

On Saturday night (April 8) my husband and I took our 13 and 10 year...

The Music Man Shines!

by kwsbanker , Jun 24 '00
Pros: toe tapping music, uplifting feeling, great family entertainment
Cons: too much like the original, a few flaws in the orchestral delivery
The Music Man is a great, and I mean great, family theater outing. It has a few flaws, which ironically don't detract from the overall feeling you get from this "feel-good" show.

Craig Bierko is terrific. Close your eyes, and you'd...

A True Broadway Production

by ejsimon1 , Jun 15 '00
Pros: dancing, performers, great production
Cons: price
The Music Man is a new revival to hit Broadway, so you would think it would be old fashioned and slow. Totally wrong, it was extremely well done and entertaining. The entire show was great, from the performers down to the scenery and choreography.

The Music Man after Preston

by jpbastos , Aug 16 '00
Pros: Music, Actors and choreography
Cons: a non reliable finale with the march of the trombones.
Rebecca Luke is, without doubts one of the new divas of Broadway Stages as Streisand, and Julie Andrews were in the first steps of there careers.I´ve seen the first performance of the previews. All the show run very well and the only dull moment was the...

Come And Meet Those Danceing Feet

by Slickman , Aug 02 '00
Pros: Great Danceing and music
Cons: A little childlike
The Music Man doesn't at all fail to bring us back the time told classic of Harold Prince and his coning ways. The show is basically a carbon copy of both the movie and the original stage production. The only advantage is, is that you get to see it live....

Robert Sean Leonard takes over Harold Hill and fails!

by HJS33, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Aug 19 '01
Pros: Dancing/Choreography, the Finale, children with real talent, beautiful voices
Cons: Long, slow, inconsistent with not a lot of newness/originality to it, uncomfortable theatre/bathrooms, leads
You know that there is a problem with a show when most of your favorite parts have nothing to do with the leads. That was the case with The Music Man.

The Music Man is part of the classic/legit American theatre. The original was produced...
