Still not as good a singing voice as Shirley Jones, but quite good. The thing that gets me, though, is her quacking duck speaking voice, a curse of modern women who grow up talking the way they hear others speak....how do we ever get back to when women cultivated nicely modulated speaking voices with sparkling, bell like laughter as well.
Say what you will about Mathew's Hill, but I adore Kristin's Marian. She plays her a lot stronger and less uptight than most versions - she doesn't need Harold Hill to bring her out of her shell, she'll come out on her own when he shows he's worthy. Case in point - 1:09 - the way she says "Good" so casually instead of shouting it while glaring the way Shirley Jones did? Makes it a much sicker burn.
Kinda amazing someone like Kristin, who people normally refer to only for her assets (if you know what i mean), being shown in such a fantastic light. people often overlook real talent for these reasons, and this is a solid reminder that looks really aren't everything.
It's not easy - acting with children, too. She does have a good chemistry with the youngsters. She has incredible relative pitch and near- perfect pitch.
they didn't use the same script as the first movie... they used the same script as the musical... if they were to be "original", as you say, then a bunch of other people would be upset that they weren't faithful to the Meredith Willson's book
and this is why i love her i was just listening to her "my new philosophy" and laughing my butt off, and then she can sing this too, AND play Cunegonde she is spectacular
well, I've been forced to sit through a high school version of the music man for the past two days (and once more tomorrow), I have to say they do a better job at portraying the characters. Then again Live performances are generally somewhere above video I guess : P
Amber Alice is so mean! She has no reasoning in what she says. She laughs at poor winthrop and calls her nice piano teacher an old maid! Then HUGS her!!!
i have to say, i like the 1962 version of "Goodnight, My Someone" a bit better than this one, simply because I like the moment between Marion and Amaryllis better than Kristen Chenoweth's somewhat pining attitude at the end of this version. She still put over the number beautifully though!
OMG!!! Its Kristen Chenoweth!!!!WICKED IS THE BEST!!! She sings great with enthusiasm but her facial expressin is like Matthew Broderick's singing. -.-
I love Kristin, she's my hero! I like her more then Shirley Jones, just because i don't like constant vibrato in a voice like shirley has. But i like them both as actresses, for sure.
we live in different times now.. lol. actresses were a little different back then than they are now.. i actually think she doesn't have the face of a star.. (don't know how t describe it so don't ask lol) but she has an incredible voice. she should do disney voice overs. or has she already?
I've seen both this version and the one with Robert Preston. (I like both) I've noticed quite a difference in the script between both. Which one follows the original 1957 script, or does neither? The lyrics of the songs appear to be the same, except for "Rock Island".
I still like the 1962 big-screen version (Warner Bros. filmed it) better than the 2003 TV-movie remake (Disney cooked it up). Even so, I thought the remake beat the original in only one place: I liked Megan Moniz' portrayal of Amaryllis better than the one Monique Vermont did in '62. (And I agree that they should've let Moniz sing alongside Kristin Chenoweth.)
Amarelys: *begins playing her piano piece*
Marian: *leaves to sing while Amarelys is still playing piano*
In the original play, she joins in with her singing
HOLY CRAP Chenoweth is head and shoulders above. I thought she'd do good in this role but didn't expect this good!
her voice is just Angelic...
Her voice is beautiful she was really believable as Marion and she had good chemistry with Matthew in this movie
Still not as good a singing voice as Shirley Jones, but quite good.

@@youtuuba I love Shirley Jones... Christine has a much better technique... and a MUCH stronger emotional content in her version...
She did the role well!
She has a lovely voice. And she has the uptight librarian thing down.
Kristin Chenoweth is amazing in every role and such a sweet lady. If you ever get the chance to I recommend going to see her live.
Bueller......Bueller.....
Classic...thats a memorable broderick moment
She absolutely nails this part! Her singing brings me to tears.
No. She doesn't.
I wish kristin chenoweth was my piano teacher...
"Why does he get so mad just because he lisps?"
Maybe it's because your ass was just making fun of him! Duh! lol.
I played Amaryllis back in elementary school......I always felt so bad when I had to make fun of Winthrop :( haha

kristen is a great marion! Good voice for her
Kristin Chenoweth! The cutest little talented thing in the world!!
Cheno is my idol as an aspiring broadway soprano. Her voice is simply beautiful.
Music Man is the best thing since sliced bread.
Kristen Chenoweth is a national treasure. I'm so proud she and I both grew up in Oklahoma.
Kinda amazing someone like Kristin, who people normally refer to only for her assets (if you know what i mean), being shown in such a fantastic light.
people often overlook real talent for these reasons, and this is a solid reminder that looks really aren't everything.
I wish more people would dress like this. Look at Kristin's outfit when she first meets Matthew. It's adorable!!!
Can't believe that's Ian Gallagher from Shameless! Wow!
5:45 This part made me cry. I'll admit that.
Odd boast.
!!!
Kristen's vibrato is beyond perfect. I love her.
I especially love the vibrato being used all over the place where it shouldn't be. Master class in ruining a great musical.
I totally have a girl crush on Kristen Chenowith. I love her so much! She sings this song perfectly.
gosh I love Cheno
Kristen's voice is amazing!
marian's singing is outstanding
this is basically my favorite part in this movie!!!
kristen is such an awesome actress!!! i didn't know she was in this!
"Goodnight My Someone" = "Seventy-six Trombones", different time signatures. Also, Kristi Dawn is the bomb dot com!
Even though the original is amazing, I DO love Kristin Chenoweth's voice.
Definitely...that little dance that Shirley Jones does in an attempt to dodge Robert Preston, and without missing a beat, is absolutely wonderful.
watching/listening to her sing this and it sounding like this makes me thinkj of how much different her voice was in Wicked when she sang Popular
love her voice
wow..this brings me back..2003 my HS was doing this play and coincidentally right before opening night they aired it on television. sooo many memories
It's not easy - acting with children, too. She does have a good chemistry with the youngsters. She has incredible relative pitch and near- perfect pitch.
@MrDanielBrisk Yeah, I agree. Kristin also has a lot more emotion, which I enjoy more.
i sing goodnight my someone every night before i go to sleep
Marian has a beautiful voice
Hey that's Ian from Shameless!!
That little girl has absolutely no reservations. Once when I was a kid I told my Aunt she had yellow teeth. Kids... honestly, no verbal taps.
KRISTIN CHENOWETH.
much better quality than part two. .__.
Is it me or is her "mother" roughly the same age as her?
And I've played that child :) lol
Memories...
Kristen makes the part her own and adds more originality and personality than the original version.
What are you, an idiot or something? Anyone who can even toleride watching this travesty has never even seen The Music Man.
Good grief, this is baaaaad....it's almost painful after the phenomenal performance in the original....
hot damn that woman can sing.
BABY CAMERON MONAGHAN!
i’m playing marian, wish me luck!!
I luv this part!!!!!!
The only reason im even watching this is cause of Kristen chenowith and Simba!
Auditioning for the part of Mrs. Paroo on Wednesday. Nervous as heck.
mrs. paroo is played by the same actress who played maggie in eloise at the plaza and eloise at christmastime and it's debra monk.
they didn't use the same script as the first movie... they used the same script as the musical... if they were to be "original", as you say, then a bunch of other people would be upset that they weren't faithful to the Meredith Willson's book
Did you drop your... NO.
Didn't we meet in.... NO!
@delidude1999 Robert Preston's version is the original! :)
and this is why i love her
i was just listening to her "my new philosophy" and laughing my butt off, and then she can sing this too, AND play Cunegonde
she is spectacular
well, I've been forced to sit through a high school version of the music man for the past two days (and once more tomorrow), I have to say they do a better job at portraying the characters. Then again Live performances are generally somewhere above video I guess : P
I play Marcellus in this play. I have to sing Shapoopi and they stuff me with pillows to make me look fat! :)
Amber Alice is so mean! She has no reasoning in what she says. She laughs at poor winthrop and calls her nice piano teacher an old maid! Then HUGS her!!!
This would be a really fun school musical.
@Lukelr My god you people need to stop comparing the movies if you don't like this one don't freaking watch it
good my someone love that song
i love her in wicked she is so good
This is only part 3. You can't just stop. You can't. Universal explosions, and such.
i have to say, i like the 1962 version of "Goodnight, My Someone" a bit better than this one, simply because I like the moment between Marion and Amaryllis better than Kristen Chenoweth's somewhat pining attitude at the end of this version. She still put over the number beautifully though!
robert preston's version follows the original script nearly to the letter
i had the lisp too, my old man usually made fun of my improper "S"
***** I had one as well. Its not too uncommon for kids under six to have a lisp.
You must know that that is awesome.
You know, I don't think Matthew Broderick is quite right for the role of Harold Hill, but Kristen Chenoweth is nothing short of perfect!
OMG!!! Its Kristen Chenoweth!!!!WICKED IS THE BEST!!! She sings great with enthusiasm but her facial expressin is like Matthew Broderick's singing. -.-
I love Kristin, she's my hero! I like her more then Shirley Jones, just because i don't like constant vibrato in a voice like shirley has. But i like them both as actresses, for sure.
Absolutely
I feel your pain. I play her too in our play.
@20jesusfreak she played the original Galinda in it! lol
we live in different times now.. lol. actresses were a little different back then than they are now.. i actually think she doesn't have the face of a star.. (don't know how t describe it so don't ask lol) but she has an incredible voice. she should do disney voice overs. or has she already?
Sounds much better than Shirley Jones in the '62 movie.
Sorry, Shirley.
Is this actually Chenoweth singing "Goodnight"?
i cant beilive she is in desendesnts
no, it's Kristen Chenoweth. She was in Wicked, that movie about the road trip....RV, and a bunch of other stuff.
lol how cute was that :)
i am performing this play tonight and i am Professor Harold Hill
she's glinda in Wicked
omg!kristin soso amazing
Ameryllis is going to grow up to be a mean girl.
I've seen both this version and the one with Robert Preston. (I like both) I've noticed quite a difference in the script between both. Which one follows the original 1957 script, or does neither? The lyrics of the songs appear to be the same, except for "Rock Island".
My school is doing this play!! they dancing coriography is hard
I'm doing "Music Man Jr." in a theatre in Iowa.
I still like the 1962 big-screen version (Warner Bros. filmed it) better than the 2003 TV-movie remake (Disney cooked it up). Even so, I thought the remake beat the original in only one place: I liked Megan Moniz' portrayal of Amaryllis better than the one Monique Vermont did in '62. (And I agree that they should've let Moniz sing alongside Kristin Chenoweth.)
yeah it is
Thats not your sister kid, thats your mom! DUM DUM DUUUUUUM
@Vaprogyne This one is just as good as the Original
MEOW! What a fisty lady!
Opp. Pwned.
Beautiful girl beautiful voice better than shirley
This was filmed in Canada.
I don't know if you can get it in stores. I got my DVD from Amazon if that helps.
Yeah, good comeback
I'm also in the play but I'm constable Locke.
hang on if it's summer and it gets dark late when are these people eating?
Yes, exactly =)
Does anyone else think that the last note she holds at the very end sounds like a car alarm?
You all are forgetting Barbara Cook,the best Marian.
she was wonderful
