It was just a complete remake of the same exact movie. Same mannerisms, etc. Not worth watching at all. The old one is great.

It's ok. I know people say this all the time but a live version of it is much,

+1 - great first half songs and the last 15 minutes ends weirdly

The Robert Preston version is great. Can't vouch for the Matthew Broderick one.

Rock Island is definitely the best

Rock Island is great in live theater. Gives you appreciation for real acting.

+1. I prefer to call it the "Buddy Hackett" version though.

I've never been into musicals much - but liked Music Man when my son was in his

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is not awesome music when your kids sing it in the back
