What I always loved about this song is how it establishes Hill as almost impossible, like a hero from an urban legend, just absolutely setting him up on a pedastal so high that surely it's impossible that he'd meet the hype. Then you actually see Hill work and realize that if anything this song *sold him short*.

Your comment is so well expressed and neatly captures a method of technique by which we are lead into the story with focus on the central figure before we meet him. Exasperation for them or particularly for the anvil salesmen, and charisma and delight for us. It's the first instance of Meredith Willson's genius and the unfolding product doesn't disappoint.

I played the role of the Music Man in the 5th or 6th grade in 1965 (I think) and remember my lines even to today and I'm 68 years old. Also remember how our music teacher and school skirted the part in which I was supposed to kiss Marion. Back then in the 60's even in NYC white and black intimacy perceived or otherwise was frowned upon. All in all it was a great lifetime experience and hopefully will see it on Broadway this year.

This opening shows you how much depth The Music Man had. I mean, Robert Preston just sits there through the entire song and never shows his face. Yet he dominates the movie otherwise. So clearly, the movie was a lot more than just a vehicle for Preston. It had a great ensemble cast and you really can't find any weak characters. Hollywood at its very best.

True ... but remember that Robert Preston had performed the role of Harold Hill ,,, about 700 times ... on Broadway ... and when Warner wanted some one else for the movie role (Frank Sinatra and Cary Grant were considered) ... Meredeth Willson said "Either Robert Preston gets the part ... or you don't get my movie." Interestingly though ... in the movie ... Harold Hill never did anything wrong ... and he never broke any law. He promised them instruments, uniforms, and instruction booklets ... and he delivered on that promise. He promised to form a boys band ... and he did. He did everything he said he would do ... and never broke a single law ... and yet they arrested him ... held him against his will ... and threatened to tar and feather him.

@suzannejensen2754 жыл бұрын
Well it seems like it's nothing but credit now in 2020. Very seldom do see someone pay with cash it's either credit or debit card or even just use the app on you phone. I almost freaked out to see a teen actually paid with cash then threw the change in the trash can saying he didn't want to carry it around in his pocket. You can tell he definitely didn't have to work for that money or he wouldn't have thrown the change in the trash. He could've left it on the counter or put it in the charity box by the register. He definitely didn't have a father like the one at the ice cream shop he yelled at his kids for leaving $0.06 on the table saying don't you appreciate the value of money and how hard I had to work for it. WOW I was in shock to see that kind of reaction over such a small about. Specialist say the average person within three months of losing a job would be bankrupt because they're so far in debt and have nothing to fall back on. Also if you only pay the minimum payment on a credit card it takes an advantage of 25 years to pay it off.

So the line "seegarettes illegal in this state" prompted me to look up the history of Iowa's cigarette ban. It was the first state to ever pass such a ban in 1897, and many other states including Indiana, Michigan, and Washington followed suit. I wasn't able to figure out when it was overturned. I learned something from a musical today.

"[After] Meredith Willson's startling use of rap for the opening number in The Music Man ... I would have expected more songwriters to pick up on it, including myself. But not until rap became omnipresently popular did I try to make it work: I imitated it in a passage for the Witch to sing during the opening number of Into the Woods. But I was never able to find another appropriate use for the technique, or perhaps I didn't have the imagination to." -Stephen Sondheim

The Witch's Chant was the first rap song I ever listened to, during a lifetime of listening to classical (into which category I place Sondheim). The quote above led me here.

On our opening night as we were pushing the train off stage, we accidentally hit the fire alarm.😂 We had to evacuate the entire auditorium and everybody had to stand outside, waiting to go back in and we had to start the play over again😂😂. Some of the actors were still in mid costume and make up at the time and had to stand outside half dressed 😂😂

That was the main idea for this song. It's called a "Patter Song". That means that the lyrics are spoken instead of sung. A good musical to listen to with Patter Songs would be "My Fair Lady". But yes, the rhythm of the train signified the temp of the song, therefore, when the train sped up, so did the lyrics, and the same when the train slowed to a halt. So yes, I guess you could say that Patter Songs help create rap.

The Stupendium sneaked some references to this into his new song AD INFINITUM, which is about a character from Toby Fox's game Deltarune Chapter 2 who is the literal personification of advertising. I'm glad I decided to look up the references, this was cool to find and it's really neat that he hid some of the lines from it here!

I had the honor of meeting Mr. Willson once when I was called to go to his house to help present the idea of a program similar to Side By Side By Sondheim only with Willson’s works. I sang, among many other things, My White Knight and told him it was the song I always sang for auditions. He was in the throes of Alzheimer’s then but still so sweetly said to me, “Well I’ve never heard it sung better!” I cherish the memories of that afternoon.. unfortunately the production never got off the ground. But we had a wonderful afternoon, singing his songs to him.

Here's something especially ironic: Meredith Willson - who wrote "The Music Man" - despised rock 'n roll. Along with Frank Sinatra and quite a few other figures from the Big Band era, he considered it the destruction of all that was good about popular music, and described it as "garbage.... a creeping paralysis." And yet he invented rap!

I agree! Move over "Hamilton," this rap song hit Broadway in 1960 and the silver screen in 1962! It turns out that, for all his criticism by many critics for being "corny," Meredith Wilson was a forerunner! He did something at least 18 years ahead of its time (i.e. 18 years before Rapture and Rappers Delight).

what's really cool about this is that it's not actually rap, it's patter--broadway patter kind of evolved alongside rap and involves the same speed and really similar rhyming and wordplay, and both require really incredible skill to write and perform, but they're both from entirely different genres! hamilton was the first musical to combine rap and patter but patter's got a great & long history on broadway.
