Free Music Notes for The Music Man (1957 Original Broadway Cast)
Free Music Review: A must for Broadway fans
Hit: 5 Stars
I suppose that everyone who is interested in Broadway musicals is familiar with "The Music Man," from seeing it on Broadway, to the movie version, to touring companies, to the unfortunate recent television adaptation, and even to local theater groups.
And, I suppose that most of them listen to the music repeatedly, as I do.
Meredith Willson has written a wonderful variety of music: the rowsing "Seventy-Six Trombones," which became the musical trademark of the show; the hilarious "Pick-a-Little;" the romantic "My White Knight;" and what about the combination of "Trombones" with "Goodnight, My Someone."
The original cast is superb. This is a role which suits Robert Preston's voice and demeanor to a tee. Barbara Cook, of course, is the best, and it really shows here. Add in the supporting cast and the Buffalo Bills, and you have as near perfection as a musical will ever reach.
As I said, a must for Broadway fans.

I cannot rate this product because I gave it as a gift.
I haven't heard the CD.
All I can say is that my friend was thrilled to get it for Christmas.

Hit: 4 Stars
though not for everyone, if you enjoy a classic Broadway musical, and a thoroughly classic Broadway performer, then this Original Cast Recording of Robert Preston singing The Music Man can hardly disappoint. The score, the voice, the show, is all well-known - it is hard to imagine anyone being unfamiliar with the production. Yet if you do not recognize this recording, or have not heard it - if you are a true fan of classic Broadway productions, you won't want to exclude this one from your collection.
in its own stubborn Iowa way, it is timeless.

I loved this show when I saw it on Broadway and I love it now. Thanks!Free Music Review: An American Masterpiece
Hit: 5 Stars
One of the greatest American musicals. The score, book, performances...all combined to make one of the greatest musicals in American theater. Robert Preston was magnificent, Barbara Cook was perfection,the supporting cast were delightful! This is a GREAT cast recording. Fortunatley for the world, Preston's performance is preserved on film. Sadly, Cook's is not (though Shirley Jones is wonderful). Barbara Cook is one of the great treasures of the theater world. Just see one of her concert performances today (nearing 80 yrs old) and you will see why. Her voice is still glorious, she is positively ethereal!
