text: Plot

text: Twelve-year-old Henry Turner boards the Flying Dutchman and informs his father, Will Turner, that the curse which binds Will to the Dutchman and only permits him to step on land once a decade can be broken by the Trident of Poseidon. Henry intends to recruit Captain Jack Sparrow to help find it, but Will believes this is impossible and orders Henry to leave. Will and the Dutchman then disappear into the sea, but Henry vows to find Jack and the Trident.

text: Nine years later, as a sailor in the British Royal Navy, Henry sails into the supernatural Devil's Triangle. His ship stumbles upon the wreck of the Silent Mary, whose ghostly crew led by Spanish pirate-hunter Captain Salazar attack. Everyone aboard is killed except Henry, who is given a message to deliver to Jack: Salazar is coming for him.

text: In Saint Martin, a young astronomer and horologist named Carina Smyth is sentenced to death for witchcraft but escapes custody and briefly crosses paths with Jack as he and his crew spectacularly blunder a bank robbery. Having suffered years of such bad luck, Jack's crew lose faith and abandon him. Depressed, Jack trades his magical compass for a drink. However, this betrayal of the compass frees Salazar and his crew from the Devil's Triangle. Carina learns Henry is looking for the Trident's location and offers to help him using a diary left by her unknown father. Carina and Jack are both captured and face execution, but are saved by Henry and Jack's crew, setting sail on the Dying Gull. Carina deciphers clues that the stars will lead to an island where the Trident is hidden.

text: Meanwhile, Captain Barbossa hears from his pirate crew that the revived Captain Salazar has killed several pirates at sea, and learns that the Trident could lead him to a new "treasure". Barbossa sets off to find the Trident, until Salazar and his crew appear and destroy Barbossa's fleet. Barbossa manages to talk his way out of being killed by offering to help find Jack. Salazar agrees, wanting revenge on the pirate that caused his demise. Salazar pursues the Dying Gull, forcing Jack, Henry, and Carina to flee to an island, discovering that Salazar's crew cannot go on land. After saving Jack from a forced marriage, Barbossa allies himself with Jack, returning his compass and restoring the miniaturized Black Pearl, trapped in a bottle by Blackbeard, to its original size. They all continue their journey to the Trident's island, with Barbossa taking command of the Pearl once more. During the voyage, Jack and Barbossa realize Carina is the latter's long-lost daughter. Barbossa tells Jack that he had left her at an orphanage with his diary so she could live a better life, and refuses to tell her the truth so she will continue to believe her father was an astronomer.

text: Approaching the Trident's island, the Pearl evades a British Navy warship, which is destroyed by the Silent Mary before the Pearl runs aground on the island. Jack, Barbossa, and Carina use the island's magic to part the ocean and open a path to the Trident's location on the ocean floor. Salazar captures Henry and possesses his body in order to walk on the ocean floor and seize the Trident. Once he does so, Henry is given his body back and decides to destroy the Trident, breaking all curses upon the sea and restoring Salazar's crew to life. However, the divided sea begins to collapse in on itself. The Pearl lowers its anchor to lift them to safety, but Salazar pursues them, still hell-bent on killing Jack. Carina realizes that Barbossa is her father when she spots a tattoo on his arm identical to the diary's cover. Barbossa sacrifices himself to kill Salazar, allowing the others to escape alive.

text: Some time later, Henry and Carina reach Port Royal, where Will appears, free from the Dutchman. His wife, Elizabeth, appears moments later and the Turner family reunites. Henry and Carina begin a relationship as well. Jack watches from the Pearl in faux-disgust before sailing away into the horizon, having been accepted by his crew as their captain once again.

text: In a post-credits scene, Will and Elizabeth are sleeping in their bed together, when their room is attacked by an apparently resurrected Davy Jones. Just as Jones raises his clawed arm to strike at the couple, Will awakens and discovers that the room is empty. Assuming Jones's appearance to be a nightmare, Will goes back to sleep, oblivious to the presence of barnacles on the floor amid a small puddle of seawater, revealing it was no dream and, due to the destruction of the Trident, Davy Jones is really alive.

text: Cast

text:
Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow:[10]
Rønning wanted to focus on relatable characters as in the first film "where Jack is not the [lead ... but] comes in and crashes the party every now and then",[11] and so make use of Depp's "comedic genius".[12] The film examines Jack's backstory, with the young Jack portrayed by Anthony De La Torre,[13] whose face was replaced by a CGI replica of Depp as he looked in 21 Jump Street and What's Eating Gilbert Grape.[14] Rønning felt de-aging Depp was tricky against the canon of the franchise.[15]
Javier Bardem as Captain Armando Salazar:
Bardem set out to imbue the character with "a rage based on dented pride", owing to his spectacular fall from a high-ranking commander of a Spanish fleet to being betrayed and trapped in hell by Jack.[16] Salazar's body language tried to convey a bull in an arena, "full of rage and need of vengeance, but also wounded".[17] It took three hours a day to apply the make-up which Bardem referred to as having "cold chicken breasts" glued to his face.[18]
Geoffrey Rush as Captain Hector Barbossa:[19]
Barbossa has become extremely wealthy since the previous film, with Rush referring to him as a "corporate pirate", having amassed a fleet of ships under his command and encrusted his peg-leg with jewels.[20]
Brenton Thwaites as Henry Turner:[21][1]
The directors were keen to draft a new protagonist relationship with Henry and Carina, stating that "in the middle of a big action scene, you need to be able to lean on the characters and find the heart of that story, and channel the characters' vulnerability". Rønning noted that identity is a major theme in the film and to Henry and Carina's story arc: "they are on a similar quest and find common ground in looking for who they are".[12] Lewis McGowan portrays a young Henry.[22]
Kaya Scodelario as Carina Smyth:[1]
A headstrong, altruistic astronomer. Scodelario explained the character's motivation and role saying, "she is an academic, she's fighting for the right to study at university because women couldn't at that time."[23] For the directors, it was important to "modernise it with Henry and Carina, Kaya, especially brought that with her. She's a modern woman."[11] Scodelario worked with scriptwriter Jeff Nathanson to ensure the character was unique to the series[16] and not a copy of Elizabeth Swann.[24] She said that female characters often "fall into two camps; they are either pretty and perfectly put together or completely insane. Carina has definitely got a little bit of both."[16]
Kevin McNally as Joshamee Gibbs:[1]
Captain Jack's loyal friend and first mate.
Golshifteh Farahani as Shansa:[1]
A sea-witch and ally of Captain Barbossa.
David Wenham as Lieutenant John Scarfield:
The second antagonist of the film and a British Royal Navy officer, who commands the HMS Essex.[25]
Stephen Graham as Scrum:[1]
A member of Jack Sparrow's crew and former member of Blackbeard's crew.
Martin Klebba as Marty:[26]
A member of Jack Sparrow's crew.
Giles New and Angus Barnett as Murtogg and Mullroy:
Former Royal Marines turned pirates, who serve as Barbossa's right-hand men on board the Queen Anne's Revenge.[26]
Orlando Bloom as Captain William "Will" Turner Jr.:
A blacksmith-turned-pirate who was transformed into the Captain of the Flying Dutchman at the end of At World's End. Speaking in late 2014 about his possible return to the franchise, Bloom stated that he would love to portray a character outside of his usual role types as a good-looking hero, alluding to the make-up requirements for Davy Jones.[27]

text: Additionally, Keira Knightley briefly appears at the end in a non-speaking role as Elizabeth Swann,[28] Will's wife and Henry's mother. Adam Brown, Danny Kirrane, and Delroy Atkinson appear as members of Jack's crew. In the prison scene, Paul McCartney briefly appears as Jack's paternal uncle, Uncle Jack.[29][29][29][30][31] Alexander Scheer plays a young Captain Edward Teague in a flashback sequence. A silhouette of Davy Jones, one of the series' former villains, was seen in the post-credits scene, but his portrayer Bill Nighy revealed to not have been informed about the character's appearance.[32] Pablo and Chiquita reprised their role as Jack the Monkey.

text: Production

text: Development

text: Shortly before the release of On Stranger Tides in 2011, the cast and crew of the fourth film were told to set aside time in the near future, because Walt Disney Pictures intended to shoot a fifth and sixth film back-to-back.[33] However, it was later stated that only a fifth film was in the works. Terry Rossio was writing a script for a fifth film without his partner Ted Elliott.[34] Rob Marshall was rumoured to return to direct,[35] but he declined after he chose to direct Into the Woods[36] (2014) and The Thin Man[37] (both Disney projects starring Johnny Depp). After Marshall passed on the project, many directors were rumored to direct the film, including Gore Verbinski who was responsible for the original three films.[38] Verbinski ultimately passed on the project, feeling that "there's no reason other than financial" in making the film.[39] The eventual shortlist had Fredrik Bond, Rupert Sanders, and the eventual choice, Norwegian film duo Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg.[40] The studio had chosen them based on their Academy Award-nominated high-sea film Kon-Tiki and their ability to work with a limited budget.[41]

text: Rossio's script draft was ultimately rejected, and the writer stated that a major reason was a female villain that made actor Johnny Depp "worried that would be redundant to Dark Shadows, which also featured a female villain."[42] In January 2013, Disney hired Jeff Nathanson to work on a script.[43] Rønning and Sandberg said they were particularly moved by Nathanson's "funny and touching" script,[44] which convinced them to sign to direct in May,[45] Rønning believing that the script was "all there" but needed scenes to "carry the tradition of Gore Verbinski, bring the emotional core and big action set pieces".[12] In August, Rønning and Sandberg revealed that the title would be Dead Men Tell No Tales.[46] However, the following month producer Jerry Bruckheimer said, "We have an outline everyone loves but the script is not done," explaining that the release would be postponed beyond summer 2015.[41] The studio questioned Depp's bankability following the financial losses of The Lone Ranger in 2013,[47] and the screenplay's first drafts were not approved by Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn, who was concerned about the finished product.[48] Bruckheimer revealed that script and budget issues were behind the delay, and that Nathanson was at work on a second attempt based on a well-received outline, saying they needed a script and budget everyone would approve.[41] Depp was also invited to collaborate with the script, with the actor believing it would be the last of the franchise and wanting to end it right.[49] After the script was accepted the film was officially green-lit by Disney in July 2014, with a planned release on July 7, 2017.[50]

text: The directors were inspired by the first film, The Curse of the Black Pearl,[44] stating that the original is thrilling but above all a comedy with heart, and wanted to reinvent the "structure and the dynamics between the characters". In addition to recapturing the best of previous franchise installments, the directors had the works of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton in mind when crafting the tone of the film.[12] The pair wanted the film to be the "most emotional" of the series and to explore the roots of Jack Sparrow.[51] They decided to use Jack's compass as the "key to unlock Salazar from his hellish prison in the Triangle", and toned down some of the fantastic elements "to ground it, even in Pirates Of The Caribbean."[52] Geoffrey Rush argued that the pair brought "Euro sensibility to traditional Hollywood franchise thinking"[53] while Orlando Bloom believed that they'd "recaptured the simplicity and charm" of the original film.[54] Kaya Scodelario said that the producers wanted to take the franchise back to its origins, with a story that gave characters a conclusion while opening new possibilities.[55] Along with the new directors and writers, many of the crew members were new to the franchise, replacing those who had served on the previous four films, with the exception of Bruckheimer, costume designer Penny Rose, and executive producer Chad Oman.[1][56]

text: Casting

text: Speaking at the On Stranger Tides press launch in Cannes, Depp said he would play the role so long as it is popular with the public.[57] In August 2012 news surfaced that Depp had signed for the fifth film, earning A$90,000,000 to reprise his role.[10] Geoffrey Rush had commented on returning as Hector Barbossa in the fifth installment, saying "If they keep shapeshifting this character, absolutely" and implied that he might return as the villain.[58] He said that Barbossa's megalomania "could explode in horrific ways".[59] In December 2014, Rush confirmed his return for the fifth installment, where Barbossa and Jack were "at the heart of it and there's a whole new set of story lines".[19] In late 2011, about four years after choosing not to return for the fourth installment, Orlando Bloom stated that he would like to return for the fifth film if he was offered.[60] Several weeks after Disney officially green-lit the film, Bloom stated that there were "discussions" about his return to the franchise in September 2014.[61] Bloom further commented in December 2014, that while he was not sure whether he would return, there were talks. He also indicated that Disney could do a soft reboot with the franchise and focus on Will Turner and his son.[27] Bloom's participation was kept secret until the Disney D23 in 2015 after filming had wrapped.[62] Once the filmmakers started working with Bloom, they decided that they needed to reunite the character with his wife, Elizabeth. To ensure that Keira Knightley could reprise this role, the production moved for a one-day shoot in London where she was working.[52]

text: On December 2, 2013, it was reported that Christoph Waltz was in talks to appear as the film's main antagonist,[63] but he later declined. The villain was eventually portrayed by Javier Bardem,[64] who signed in 2014 to portray Armando Salazar, who in early scripts was referred to as Captain John Brand.[1] Bardem accepted the role because he was a fan of the franchise and of Depp's performance as Jack Sparrow, and also liked the working environment of the fourth movie, which he witnessed as his wife Penélope Cruz was in the cast.[65] Cruz would state that she would most likely not reprise her role of Angelica because the studio had not approached her.[66] Australian actor Brenton Thwaites entered talks for the role of Henry in late November 2014,[67] after Disney chose him over Taron Egerton, George MacKay, Mitchell Hope, Ansel Elgort and Sam Keeley.[68] In mid-January 2015, he stated that he was to travel to Australia for the film in February, disclosing that his role was indeed that of Will Turner's son, struggling to break a curse to meet his father.[69]

text: Kaya Scodelario was chosen as the female lead out of a shortlist that included Gabriella Wilde, Alexandra Dowling, Jenna Thiam, and Lucy Boynton.[70] In July, her character was revealed to be called Carina.[71] In earlier drafts of the script the name Carina Smyth appeared as Barbossa's daughter, a love interest of Sparrow's and an astronomer accused of being a witch.[72] Scodelario confirmed that the character was an astronomer and that "she's a totally different character" to Elizabeth Swann, and also confirmed that Smyth will be Henry's love interest instead of Jack's.[24][73] Kevin McNally confirmed his return as Joshamee Gibbs in late January.[26] Shortly after on-location pre-production opened in Australia, Disney issued a casting call to local agents for actors from all age and experience levels to apply for roles and as extras in the upcoming film, with casting also open in the US.[74] Adam Brown, Delroy Atkinson, Danny Kirrane were revealed as cast members shortly before filming.[29] As filming begun, two actors from the previous films were confirmed, Martin Klebba as Marty,[75] and Stephen Graham as Scrum.[76] Director Joachim Rønning's two children appear in the film as extras.[77] Keith Richards expressed interest in reprising his role as Captain Teague,[78] but proved himself unavailable, leading Depp to invite Paul McCartney into appearing as Jack Sparrow's uncle (also named Jack).[79]

text: Other actors had expressed interest in reprising their roles from the previous films, such as Tia Dalma portrayer Naomie Harris,[80] and Greg Ellis, even if his character Theodore Groves appeared to die in the previous film.[81] Both Lee Arenberg and Mackenzie Crook commented on the possibility of returning as Pintel and Ragetti,[82] and in an interview on November 7, 2014, Crook confirmed that he had received a call of availability from Disney for the film.[83] Crook ultimately declined to reprise his role in order to focus on his television series Detectorists.[84] He said he felt "pangs of nostalgia" when the cast and crew filmed without him.[85] Arenberg, who also had a television job in Once Upon a Time, added that he felt like the producers "weren’t really trying to court us like they really wanted us."[86]

text: Filming

text: Directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg originally mentioned that shooting would take place in Puerto Rico and New Orleans,[87] and Bruckheimer had previously mentioned that there might be a sequence in Louisiana.[88] However, a spokesman for Australian Arts Minister George Brandis confirmed that the fifth installment was set to shoot exclusively in Australia after the government agreed to repurpose $20 million of tax incentives originally intended for the remake of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, thus edging out Mexico and South Africa as filming locations.[89] According to Australian film industry sources, on location pre-production started in late September 2014 and its cost would be around $250 million.[90] Filming would take place exclusively in Queensland, Australia, being the largest production to ever shoot in the country. Village Roadshow Studios and the Whitsunday Islands were officially confirmed as filming locations.[91] On January 1, 2015, The Rainbow Gypsy, a 15-year-old replica of an 1897 Scottish bawley, underwent an extensive refit at the Gold Coast, including a new bowsprit and reconfigured decks and cabins for filming as the Dying Gull. Its captain and owner, Kit Woodward, was a rigger on the film.[92]

text: Filming commenced on February 17, 2015.[1] Ship scenes were filmed in front of a giant outdoor greenscreen in Helensvale,[93] while a film set in the form of a village was built in Maudsland.[94] Because the greenscreens' height blocked the sunlight, containers with inflatable bluescreens mounted on top were added to the set to allow some light to enter.[95] While an initial draft of the script featured six ships, the end product had eleven vessels; to cut costs most of these were partial constructs later enhanced by computer graphics, with some built atop an hydraulic rig to mimic the movement of seafaring while on land. The camera crew led by director of photography Paul Cameron also made extensive use of drones to capture immersive views at sea without resorting to aerial footage or cranes.[14][96] The entire film was filmed in IMAX for an expanded 1.9:1 aspect ratio.[97]

text: Filming moved to Doug Jennings Park on The Spit from March 30 to June 15 for water-bound scenes.[98] However, due to extreme sea sickness among the cast and crew from the "big swells", filming moved to Raby Bay for calmer waters.[99][100] Scenes were shot at Byron Bay on June 1. Locals made up more than 75 percent of the 850-plus crew then working on the film.[101] After much speculation about whether Orlando Bloom would return, Bloom arrived at the Gold Coast in late May to reprise his role as Will Turner.[102][103] Scenes featuring a skeleton of a sperm whale that had been constructed were shot at Hastings Point from June 21 to 23.[104]

text: A number of issues and controversies set back the film during its production. The biosecurity laws in Australia posed problems regarding the capuchin monkeys that portray Hector Barbossa's pet monkey Jack, because the animals are regarded as a category 1 pest and call for strict requirements and a 30-day quarantine.[105] Further controversy erupted from animal rights activist groups, who urged Federal Environment Minister Greg Hunt to reject the entry application, arguing that the long air-flight would affect their health and that their performance was unnatural and would create demand for illegal wildlife trade.[106] One of the monkeys caused further disruption when it wandered off set at Movie World and bit the ear of a make-up artist on another production.[107] Crew and cast members were forced to cover the camera lenses on all mobile phones with duct tape to prevent the film from being pirated before its release. To prevent fans from interfering with the production, secret filming locations used the production name of "Herschel" to hide the fact it was the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean film.[108] Following the attempt of an armed man trying to bypass security, the already tight security was increased.[109]

text: On March 10, 2015, Depp was injured off set and had to be flown to the United States for surgery.[110] Due to his absence, filming stalled completely and 200 crew members were forced to stand down for two weeks after finishing all they could do without Depp.[111] Filming was set to resume "on or about April 20"[112] and Depp returned to set on April 21.[113] In June, Kaya Scodelario was injured on set along with a stuntman.[114] Most of the cast and crew had finished on July 8, and a wrap party was held on July 11.[115] Filming then moved to the Whitsundays for the final shots.[71][116] On July 21, 2015, Rønning announced that filming had wrapped after a 95-day shoot.[117] After nearly a year in post production, reshoots and additional photography was conducted in Vancouver, Canada from March 24 to April 13, 2016 under the production title "Herschel Additional Photography".[118]

text: Music

text: This was the first film in the series that Hans Zimmer did not compose the music for. Instead, the main composer is one of his protégés, Geoff Zanelli, who worked on the previous four installments in the franchise.[119] Zanelli said that Zimmer "redefined the sound of the entire genre" and considered it it a great accomplishment to have worked with him and Bruckheimer. He used this experience with the franchise to build a new sound for the film.[119] He stated that "you don't have to modernize the melodies, those are timeless", and only tried to make the sound more modern, such as featuring an electric cello to create a menacing leitmotif for Salazar.[120] Given it took more than a year for the film to start production following Zanelli being hired, he accompanied the script's evolution and was familiar with the character arcs that would be translated in their theme songs. Zanelli always started writing the music on the piano, namely a synthesized orchestra.[121] The film's soundtrack was released on May 26, 2017.[122]

text: Post-production

text: Work on the film concluded on April 19, 2017.[123] Eight companies handled the film's 2,000 visual effects shots, with 150 of them consisting only of computer graphics. The primary vendor was Moving Picture Company (MPC), which employs the film's overall effects supervisor Gary Brozenich.[95] Among MPC's work were Salazar's undead pirates, whose on-set footage was mostly replaced by CGI to achieve missing body parts and floating hair and clothing. Brozenich stated that what was kept of the original actors was "their run, gait and faces." To provide reference for the floating parts, which were meant to resemble a perpetual drowning state, a stuntman in full costume and wig was filmed underwater in a swimming pool performing various actions.[14]

text: Atomic Fiction handled the scenes of St. Martin, turning the few blocks of buildings built on set into more than 600 CG buildings surrounded by a jungle environment combining references from both the Caribbean and Thailand, and enhancing through CGI both the guillotine on which Jack Sparrow is nearly executed and the bank from the heist scene, that was meant to look as if its foundations were drug through the ground instead of sliding on the surface.[124] Along with sea footage filmed in both the Australian sets and Key West, Florida, there was extensive usage of water simulations, with the artists using the Beaufort scale to ensure the waves and wind realistically matched.[95]

text: Release

text: Dead Men Tell No Tales had its world premiere at the Shanghai Disney Resort on May 11, 2017.[2] In several countries, including the United Kingdom, the film was released as Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge,[125] a decision that the directors were not informed about.[52] It was released at cinemas in Italy[126] and Norway on May 24[127] and in the United States, Canada, and China on May 26.[128] It is the first Hollywood feature to be released in the United States for the new panorama-like ScreenX format; it played in two locations in the U.S.—CGV Buena Park and CGV Cinemas—both in Los Angeles, California. Additionally, it played in 81 screens at select theaters in Korea, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Turkey and Indonesia. The film also played in 4D on 373 4DX screens worldwide.[129] It is Disney's third wide release of the year following Beauty and the Beast and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.[130]

text: Marketing

text: A robust marketing effort helped promote Dead Men Tell No Tales.[131] The film was first showcased at the Disney D23 Expo 2015 where Depp appeared in costume as Jack Sparrow and the film's logo was revealed with Orlando Bloom confirmed to be starring in the film.[132][133] Elizabeth Rudnick was self-confirmed to novelize the film, and described the film as bringing back "sensibility" while returning Jack Sparrow to "all of his swaggering glory".[134] A tie-in prequel expanding the backstory of the character of Carina Smyth was also released, titled Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales – The Brightest Star in the North.[135] The film was showcased at the 2016 Walt Disney Content Showcase in South Africa, where concept art, story details and on-set images were previewed.[136]

text: The first teaser trailer was released on October 2, 2016, during Fear the Walking Dead and showcased Armando Salazar hunting for Jack Sparrow, who is shown on a wanted poster.[137] On January 27, 2017, Disney uploaded an eight-second motion poster to their official Instagram account for the release of a TV spot of the film during Super Bowl LI.[138] Disney then released a 30-second television teaser at Super Bowl LI, with an extended version released online set to Johnny Cash's "Ain't No Grave". The trailer was considered to be the "big" trailer of the event and was the most-viewed trailer of all the films advertised at the halftime show. A new teaser poster was released with the trailer. Both teasers received a highly positive reaction from audiences.[139][140] The official trailer was released on March 2.[141] Another trailer was released on March 25.[142] The first 30-second TV spot was released on March 31. On April 21, at Disney Parks and on the four Disney cruise ships, Disney previewed a sneak peek of the film.[143] With the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 on April 28 in the UK, Disney premiered a 5-minute extended sequence of the film in front of the Marvel film.[144][145]

text: Home media

text: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales was released on digital download by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment on September 19, 2017, and on Blu-ray, Ultra HD Blu-ray and DVD on October 3.[146] It was the top home-media release in its first week, with the Blu-ray version accounting for 78% of sales, and even brought the previous four films back into the 25 best sold Blu-rays.[147]

text: Hacking incident

text: In May 2017, the film was allegedly stolen by a group of piracy hackers, who demanded a large sum of money from Disney in order for them not to distribute the unreleased film. The company refused to do so and worked with the FBI in order to get the identity of the group.[148] Disney CEO Bob Iger reported that hackers did not steal their movie.[149]

text: Reception

text: Box office

text: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales had a worldwide opening of $271.4 million from 55 markets, with $24 million coming from 1,088 IMAX screens.[150] The film's six-day opening gross pushed the franchise gross past the $4 billion mark.[151] The film grossed $172.6 million in the United States and Canada and $622.3 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $794.9 million, against a production budget of $230 million.[4] Despite being the lowest-grossing film of the series in the US by nearly $70 million, the film became the highest-grossing entry of the Pirates franchise internationally when going by modern foreign-exchange rates, passing On Stranger Tides, which grossed $593.4 million at current rates.[152] The largest-earning foreign markets were China ($172.3 million), Japan ($59.5 million), and Russia and the CIS ($40.7 million) where it was the second-highest-grossing film behind Avatar).[153] Despite weak US totals, Deadline.com noted the film should turn a net profit of around $280 million after factoring together all expenses and revenues.[154]

text: North America

text: Dead Men Tell No Tales debuted in the four-day Memorial Day opening weekend, being released in 4,276 theaters, of which over 3,100 were 3D, taking advantage of formats such as IMAX, D-Box and 4DX.[155] The film's opening earned $23.4 million, including $5.5 million from previews. It was the lowest opening day of the franchise.[156] It grossed $63 million over three days, and $78.5 million over four (Friday–Monday), finishing first at the box office ahead of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and fellow newcomer Baywatch.[157][158] It was the second-smallest opening weekend of the franchise, only earning more than the first film, with each of the other installments earning at least $90 million.[159] Despite the film registering the highest test score in the series,[160] the opening came in well below expectations of $80–115 million.[161][162] Analysts attributed the underperformance to the negative reviews, franchise fatigue, and Johnny Depp's diminishing returns and his depreciating public image amid his personal problems. It performed better than Disney's previous Memorial Day releases (Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Tomorrowland and Alice Through the Looking Glass),[5][163][164] and the studio executives said they were pleased with the movie's opening,[151] which helped Disney push past $1 billion in the US.[165]

text: The film fell by a total of 65% in its second weekend, the worst of the series, grossing $22.1 million[166] and finishing in third place after newcomers Wonder Woman ($103.3 million) and Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie ($23.9 million).[167] It remained in the top ten for four more weeks.[168][169]

text: Outside North America

text: Internationally, where it is marketed as Salazar's Revenge in most countries, the film was released day-and-date with its North American debut in 54 markets (91% of its total marketplace, except Japan, where it debuted on July 1).[170] Preliminary reports had the film opening to $150–175 million, but possibly overperforming depending on major markets, most notably China.[155][171] While its Chinese run benefited from the May 28–30 Dragon Boat Festival—a lucrative moviegoing period—and from International Children's Day (June 1),[172][173] the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing had a deteriorating effect on certain European markets over the film's opening weekend.[174] From Wednesday to Friday, it registered an opening of $208.8 million. Around $14 million of that came from IMAX screenings, the second-biggest international IMAX opening in May after Captain America: Civil War.[150] Similar to its US plunge, it earned $73.8 million in its second weekend, falling to second place behind Wonder Woman.[175]

text: It recorded the biggest opening day of the year in several markets including Germany ($3.6 million), Austria, France ($2.3 million), Finland, Sweden, Belgium, Thailand ($400,000), Indonesia, Malaysia and the Netherlands ($900,000, the second-biggest Disney opening, behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens).[174][176] Russia posted the biggest opening of all time with $18.4 million ($18.6 million including previews).[150][165][177][178] In China, where the film had its global premiere, it earned $21.3 million on its opening day, the fourth-biggest Disney opening in the country. It had an 87% marketshare and had already surpassed the entire earnings of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.[179] Earning a total of $67.9 million, it registered the third-highest three-day for any Disney title and a much-higher opening than the US.[150] The film did extremely well in IMAX, earning $9 million from 401 screens from Friday to early Monday bookings. The robust opening has been attributed to the Dragon Boat Festival, Depp's star power, the ubiquity of the franchise, the impact of Shanghai Disneyland Park, and good word of mouth with a score of 7.5/10 on reviews aggregator Douban and 8.7/10 on top mobile-ticketing platform Weying.[180][181] The final market for the film to be released in was Japan (July 1), where it opened at number one, achieving the highest-grossing opening for a Western film of the year, earning $9.25 million over the July 1–2 weekend.[182] It retained the box office lead for one more week, and was the highest-grossing foreign film in the following weekend.[183]

text: Critical response

text: Dead Men Tell No Tales received mixed reviews.[184][185] On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 30% based on 239 reviews and an average rating of 4.7/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "neither a change in directors nor an undead Javier Bardem is enough to drain this sinking franchise's murky bilge."[186] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 39 out of 100 based on 45 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[187] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A−" on an A+ to F scale, while comScore reported filmgoers gave an 82% overall positive score.[159]

text: Mike Ryan of Uproxx criticized the convoluted plot and overabundance of characters, resulting in a film that was "practically incoherent."[188] Writing for Rolling Stone, Peter Travers called the film "bloated, boring, repetitive and draining" and gave it one star out of four.[189] Ignatiy Vishnevetsky of The A.V. Club wrote that the film echoes the first three of the franchise "in which Johnny Depp's louche and campy Jack Sparrow played second banana to an insipid love story... the two romantic leads [...] succeed only in making the shortest movie in the series seem just as long as the rest."[190] A. O. Scott of The New York Times said of the film, "Its pleasures are so meager, its delight in its own inventions so forced and false, that it becomes almost the perfect opposite of entertainment."[191] Michael O'Sullivan of The Washington Post remarked that the film was "loud, overstimulating and hard to take in all in one sitting".[192] Mick LaSalle of San Francisco Chronicle found the film to be "a jumble of half-baked impulses" that had been forced into a played-out franchise.[193]

text: Richard Roeper of Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, saying: "Dead Men works well enough as a stand-alone, swashbuckling comedic spectacle, thanks to the terrific performances, some ingenious practical effects, impressive CGI and a steady diet of PG-13 dialogue peppered with not particularly sophisticated but (I have to admit) fairly funny sexual innuendo."[194] Pete Hammond of Deadline.com praised the film, calling it "the most entertaining installment," giving credit to Rønning and Sandberg for creating a "rollicking good time". He praised the visual effects, particularly Salazar and his crew, arguing that it should be in line to receive an Academy Award for Visual Effects. He also gave high praise to Bardem for being able to create such a "fully dimensional villain" under the layers of make-up and CGI, and Depp for keeping the film and franchise going.[195] Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a 'B', praising the fun nature of the film and its visuals, calling it "gorgeously detailed swashbuckling nonsense," but wished that the script had taken more risks instead of following the formula used in previous films.[196] Ashley Esqueda of CNET gave the film a positive review, arguing that it brought the franchise back to what made its first two installments so fun, and praised Depp's performance as "delightful as ever."[197] Brian Truitt of USA Today gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, saying "What was once a past-its-prime franchise seems to have found new life."[198] Mark Hughes of Forbes opined "Dead Men Tell No Tales isn't as good as the first three films, but it's better than the fourth", adding "it has mostly good performances, and a couple of great ones. It has fantastic visual effects, lots of humor that works, a lighthearted feel and sense of fun, and many terrific action set pieces".[199]

text: Accolades

text: The film was nominated for six Teen Choice Awards:

text: Sequel

text: On March 4, 2017, director Joachim Rønning stated that Dead Men was only the beginning of the final adventure, implying that it would not be the last film of the franchise and that a sixth film could be released.[201] The post-credit scene of Dead Men shows Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann, and Davy Jones, revealing that Will and Elizabeth will be main characters again and Davy Jones will be the main antagonist in the sixth film.[202] In September 2017, producer Jerry Bruckheimer indicated that another Pirates sequel is still possible if Dead Men Tell No Tales does well in its home release.[203] In October 2017, the sixth film was confirmed and Kaya Scodelario said that she was contracted to return.[204] Shortly after, it was announced that Rønning is being eyed to return to direct the sequel.[205]


document_title: Politics of Oklahoma

question_text: when was the last time oklahoma voted for a democratic president

text: Politics of Oklahoma

text: Political history[edit]

text: Until 1964, Oklahoma was considered a "swing state" in American politics, shifting back and forth in its support for the two major parties. This was in part due to Oklahoma's situation both as a part of the Great Plains states, which tended to be reliably Republican, and the South, which was heavily Democratic at that time. The Republican candidate has carried Oklahoma in every presidential election since 1968, often by large margins. However, Oklahoma voters would split their political allegiances (electing Democrats for local government, but Republicans for national office). In general, Oklahoma can be characterized as a politically conservative state.

text: Early history[edit]

text: Oklahoma politics from statehood through World War I was dominated by the Democratic Party, with the Republican Party and the Socialist Party vying to challenge the Democratic Party's dominance. The 2nd Oklahoma Legislature included Oklahoma's first black member, Republican A. C. Hamlin, but passed legislation that made it nearly impossible for African-Americans and seek elective office, which limited him to one term.[2] In the 1910s, the Oklahoma Legislature included Socialists, but the only bill they sponsored that became law involved hunting.[3] Socialists were also elected to local office and received the nation's highest vote count per capita for the party's candidate, Eugene V. Debs in 1916. The Jim Crow Law in Oklahoma was struck down by the United States Supreme Court, but a special session was called by the Democratic governor and focused on voting laws that limited black voter participation.[3] The Ku Klux Klan and the civil rights struggles of the World War I era came to Oklahoma in the 1920s, leading to the Tulsa race riot, lynchings and other violence.[4] Following the practical destruction of the Socialist party in the aftermath of the Green Corn Rebellion, state politics became a two-party system that continued to exclude black voters.

text: New Deal coalition[edit]

text: At the U.S. Presidential level, Oklahoma's electoral college vote was a reliable part of Franklin D. Roosevelt's "New Deal" coalition (which began in the U.S. election of 1932). Oklahoma did support President Eisenhower in 1952 and 1956, but then returned to supporting the Democrats in 1964 (Oklahoma split its electoral college vote Nixon-Byrd 7-1, due to a maverick elector, commonly referred to as faithless elector in 1960).

text: During this same period, Oklahoma's Governors, legislature, and delegation to Congress continued to be dominated by the Democratic Party. However, there was political infighting over deficit spending in the late 1930s, leading to a successful bipartisan push for a 1941 constitutional amendment requiring legislators to pass a balanced budget.[5] Leon C. Phillips, who opposed New Deal programs, rose to prominence, first as Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives and later as governor.[6]

text: Southern strategy[edit]

text: During the presidential campaign in 1968, Oklahoma was targeted by the Republican Party to be included in what was called the Southern Strategy. Beginning with the second Presidential campaign of Richard Nixon (who appealed to Oklahoma voters on the issue of law and order), Oklahoma gradually changed in its voting pattern in national elections to become an increasingly reliable Republican state for presidential tickets. President George W. Bush carried Oklahoma twice (by a wide margin), in 2000 and 2004, for example. Starting with the 2004 election results, every county in Oklahoma has gone to the Republican candidate. In 2008, Oklahoma was the only state in which every county was carried by John McCain.

text: Gradually, the success of the Republican Party began to translate into Congressional, legislative, and other local political races.

text: Oklahoma politics today[edit]

text: By the start of the 21st century, conservative Republicans increased their strength in Oklahoma on the statewide level, but Democrats were still a major factor in statewide politics.

text: This began to change in 2004, when the Republicans took control of the state House for only the second time ever, and the first time since 1921. In 2006, the incumbent Democratic governor won re-election by 66% over a former Republican Congressman, winning the popular vote in every county except the three in the strongly Republican Oklahoma Panhandle. Despite the landslide victory for the Democrats, the Republicans gained two seats in the State Senate (resulting in a 24-24 tie, though the Democratic Party held the tie-breaking Lieutenant Governor's vote) and increased their lead in the house of 57-44.

text: In 2008, the Republicans gained two state senate seats, taking control (26-22) of that chamber for the first time in state history, while increasing their membership in the state house to a 61-40 advantage. The Republicans thus had complete control of the state legislature for the first time ever. In addition Oklahoma was the only state where John McCain carried a majority in every county (even though Democrats still have a majority of registered voters).[7]

text: The 2010 statewide election saw a historic sweep – for the first time in Oklahoma history the GOP won every statewide office up for election that year, and as a result currently holds the eleven statewide offices. The GOP increased its majorities in the House by six seats and in the Senate by five seats.[8] (One seat, State Senate District 47, was vacant, as incumbent Todd Lamb was elected Lieutenant Governor, and was filled by special election in January 2011.) The Republicans thus had complete control of state government for the first time ever. On the Congressional front, Tom Coburn held his United States Senate seat and the GOP maintained control of the four House seats it held, and came within 6 points of taking Oklahoma's 2nd congressional district (the only Oklahoman Congressional seat not held by the GOP).

text: In the 2012 statewide election, the GOP captured the 2nd District seat, and thus held every statewide office as well as the entire Congressional delegation. The GOP also increased its majorities in the Oklahoma Legislature by four seats in the Oklahoma House of Representatives for a total of 71 seats and one in the Oklahoma Senate for a total of 32 seats. In both cases, the GOP gained a supermajority. The 2014 statewide election saw the GOP maintain its hold of all the statewide and Congressional seats (all five House seats and, due to both James Inhofe's seat being up for re-election and Tom Coburn resigning his seat mid-term, both Senate seats), its hold of its 71 seats in the House, and increase its Senate bloc to 39 seats.

text: Political institutions[edit]

text: As in the national government of the United States, power in Oklahoma is divided into three main branches: executive, legislative, and judicial.

text: Executive[edit]

text: The capital of the state is Oklahoma City and the Governor of Oklahoma is Mary Fallin, a Republican. Her first term began on January 10, 2011. The current Lieutenant Governor of Oklahoma is Republican Todd Lamb. Lamb concurrently serves, by virtue of his office as lieutenant governor, as the president of the Oklahoma Senate. The offices of the governor and lieutenant governor have four-year terms. The Governor is assisted by a Cabinet consisting of the assembled heads of the various executive departments called Secretaries. Of the Secretaries, the highest in rank is Secretary of State, currently Glenn Coffee, a Republican, who is the only appointed executive office set out under the Oklahoma Constitution.

text: Other statewide executive offices are contested in elections and serving four-year terms that run concurrent with that of the Governor, with the exception of the three members of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. Those members serve staggered six-year terms, with one member's term up for election every two years.

text: Legislative[edit]

text: The state legislature is a bicameral body consisting of the Oklahoma Senate and Oklahoma House of Representatives, with members elected directly by the people. There are 48 state senators, each serving a staggered four-year term and 101 members of the Oklahoma House of Representatives, each serving a two-year term. Members of both houses are elected from single member districts of equal population.

text: The state has term limits for their legislature that restrict any one person to a total of twelve years service in both the House and Senate.

text: The state legislature convenes in regular session at noon each odd-numbered year on the first Monday in February.[9] However, in the odd-numbered years following an election, the state legislature must meet on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in January for the sole purpose of determining the outcome of the statewide elections. The state constitution limits the state legislature to meeting 160 legislative days during each biennium.[10] In addition, the legislature may not meet in regular session after the last Friday in May of each year.[9]

text: Current composition[edit]

text: In the 55th Legislature (2015–2016), the Republicans control both houses (a 71-30 majority in the House and a 39-9 majority in the Senate).

text: Judicial[edit]

text: The Judiciary of Oklahoma has six levels. Most cases start in the district courts, which are courts of general jurisdiction. The lowest level courts are the Municipal Courts which exist to oversee the administration of justice within cities and have jurisdiction only over the violation of city ordinances. Appeals from Municipal Courts are heard by District Courts. There are 77 District Courts, with each having either a single or multiple District Judges with at least one Associate District Judge to administer justice. Appeals from the District Courts and challenges to certain governmental decisions are heard by either the Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals for civil appeals or the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals for criminal appeals. The Court of Civil Appeals has twelve judges who sit in two-judge divisions and the Court of Criminal Appeals has five judges.

text: Two specialized courts within administrative agencies have been established, the Court of Tax Review hears disputes involving illegal taxes levied by county and city governments, and the Workers’ Compensation Court.

text: The nine-justice Oklahoma Supreme Court is the court of last resort for all civil appeals. The Court has appellate jurisdiction on all civil issues, the Court of Civil Appeals, the Court of Tax Review and the Worker's Compensation Court. The Court only has original jurisdiction when new first impression issues, or important issues of law, or matters of great public interest are at stake.

text: Within the Oklahoma court system there are two independent courts: the Oklahoma Court on the Judiciary which monitors the actions of all judges and justices and the Oklahoma Court of Impeachment, which is the Oklahoma Senate sitting, which acts serves as the only court that can remove the highest levels of state government officials from their offices.

text: Federal court cases are heard in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma based in Muskogee, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma based in Tulsa, and the United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma based in Oklahoma City. Appeals are heard by the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit based in Denver, Colorado.

text: Federal representation[edit]

text: Oklahoma's two U.S. Senators, Republicans Jim Inhofe and James Lankford are elected at-large:

text: Oklahoma currently has five congressional districts. There were 6th, 7th, and 8th districts, as many as three at-large districts, but they have been eliminated.

text: The Oklahoma delegation of the United States House of Representatives currently includes five members. Oklahoma's 1st congressional district covers the northeastern corner of the state and it borders Kansas to the north. It is represented by Jim Bridenstine, a Republican.

text: Oklahoma's 2nd congressional district covers (approximately) the eastern one-fourth of the state, bordering Kansas to the north, Missouri and Arkansas to the east, and Texas along the Red River to the south. It is represented by Markwayne Mullin, a Republican.

text: Oklahoma's 3rd congressional district covers western Oklahoma and borders New Mexico to the west, Colorado and Kansas to the north, and the Texas panhandle to the south. It is represented by Frank Lucas, a Republican.

text: Oklahoma's 4th congressional district covers south-central Oklahoma and borders Texas along the Red River to the south. It is represented by Tom Cole, a Republican.

text: Oklahoma's 5th congressional district covers central Oklahoma and borders all of the other congressional districts except District 1. It is represented by Steve Russell, a Republican

document_title: List of Major League Baseball single-game grand slam leaders

question_text: who hit two grand slams in the same inning

text: In baseball, a grand slam is a home run that is hit when all three bases are occupied by baserunners ("bases loaded"), thereby scoring four runs—the most possible in one play.[1]  Thirteen players have hit two grand slams in a single Major League Baseball (MLB) game to date, the most recent being Josh Willingham of the Washington Nationals on July 27, 2009.[2] No player has accomplished the feat more than once in his career and no player has ever hit more than two in a game. Tony Lazzeri was the first player to hit two grand slams in a single game, doing so for the New York Yankees against the Philadelphia Athletics on May 24, 1936.[3]

text: Every team which had a player hit two grand slams won their milestone games.  These games have resulted in other single-game MLB records being set due to the extreme offensive performance. Lazzeri, for example, proceeded to hit a third home run in the game and finished with a total of eleven runs batted in, an American League record.[3][4] Fernando Tatís became the only player to hit two grand slams in the same inning, when he attained the milestone, slugging two in the third inning for the St. Louis Cardinals on April 23, 1999.[3][5]  In achieving the feat, he also set a new major league record with eight runs batted in a single inning.[6][7]

text: Tony Cloninger is the only pitcher to have accomplished the feat.[5] Bill Mueller hit his grand slams from both sides of the plate,[3][8] while Jim Northrup hit his grand slams on consecutive pitches received in the fifth and sixth innings.[9] Nomar Garciaparra is the sole player to achieve the feat at home, doing so at Fenway Park for the Boston Red Sox.[10]  Cloninger is the only player who never hit a grand slam before or after his milestone game, while Robin Ventura—with 18 grand slams—hit more than any other player in this group. Frank Robinson is also a member of the 500 home run club.[11]

text: Of the nine players eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame who have hit two grand slams in a game, two have been elected, one on the first ballot. Players are eligible for the Hall of Fame if they have played in at least 10 MLB seasons, and have either been retired for five seasons or deceased for at least six months.[12] These requirements leave ineligible one player—Josh Willingham— who is living and has played in the past five seasons and one—Jim Tabor—who did not play in 10 seasons.[13]

question_tokens: who sings gary indiana in the music man

text: The Music Man

text: Background[edit]

text: Meredith Willson was inspired by his boyhood in Mason City, Iowa, to write and compose his first musical, The Music Man.[2] Willson began developing this theme in his 1948 memoir, And There I Stood With My Piccolo.[3] He first approached producers Cy Feuer and Ernest Martin for a television special, and then Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer producer Jesse L. Lasky. After these and other unsuccessful attempts, Willson invited Franklin Lacey to help him edit and simplify the libretto. At this time, Willson considered eliminating a long piece of dialogue about the serious trouble facing River City parents.  Willson realized it sounded like a lyric, and transformed it into the patter song "Ya Got Trouble".[4] Willson wrote about his trials and tribulations in getting the show to Broadway in his book But He Doesn't Know the Territory.[5]

text: The character Marian Paroo was inspired by Marian Seeley of Provo, Utah, who met Willson during World War II, when Seeley was a medical records librarian.[6] In the original production (and the film), the School Board was played by the 1950 International Quartet Champions of the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America (SPEBSQSA),[7] the Buffalo Bills. Robert Preston claimed that he got the role of Harold Hill despite his limited singing range because, when he went to audition, they were having the men sing "Trouble". The producers felt it would be the most difficult song to sing, but with his acting background, it was the easiest for Preston.[citation needed]

text: Productions[edit]

text: After years of development, a change of producers, almost forty songs (twenty-two were cut), and more than forty drafts, the original Broadway production was produced by Kermit Bloomgarden, directed by Morton DaCosta and choreographed by Onna White.  It opened on December 19, 1957 at the Majestic Theatre.[8] It remained at the Majestic for nearly three years before transferring to The Broadway Theatre to complete its 1,375-performance run on April 15, 1961. The original cast included Robert Preston (who went on to reprise his role in the 1962 screen adaptation) as Harold Hill, Barbara Cook as Marian, Eddie Hodges as Winthrop, Pert Kelton as Mrs. Paroo, Iggie Wolfington as Marcellus Washburn and David Burns as Mayor Shinn. Eddie Albert and Bert Parks each replaced Preston as Hill later in the run, and Paul Ford was a replacement for Mayor Shinn, later reprising the role in the film version. Howard Bay designed the sets. The musical won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, winning in the same year that West Side Story was nominated for the award.  Preston, Cook and Burns also won.[9] The long-running US national tour opened in 1958, starring Forrest Tucker as Hill and Joan Weldon as Marion.[10][11]

text: The original Australian production ran from March 5, 1960 to July 30, 1960 at the Princess Theatre in Melbourne, and at the Tivoli Theatre in Sydney from December 13, 1960 to February 4, 1961.[12] The first UK production opened at Bristol Hippodrome, transferring to London's West End at the Adelphi Theatre on March 16, 1961, starring Van Johnson, Patricia Lambert, C. Denier Warren, Ruth Kettlewell and Dennis Waterman. It ran for 395 performances at the Adelphi.[10]

text: A two-week revival at New York City Center ran in June 1965, directed by Gus Schirmer, Jr. and starring Bert Parks as Harold Hill. Doro Merande and Sandy Duncan played, respectively, Eulalie and Zaneeta Shinn.[10] A three-week revival, directed and choreographed by Michael Kidd, ran in June 1980, also at the New York City Center. The cast included Dick Van Dyke as Hill, Meg Bussert as Marian, Christian Slater as Winthrop, Carol Arthur as Mrs. Paroo, and Iggie Wolfington (who played Marcellus in the 1957 production) as Mayor Shinn.[10]

text: In 1987, a Chinese translation of the musical was staged at Beijing's Central Opera Theater.[13] New York City Opera staged a revival from February to April 1988, directed by Arthur Masella and choreographed by Marcia Milgrom Dodge, starring Bob Gunton as Hill, with Muriel Costa-Greenspon as Eulalie and James Billings as Marcellus.[10]

text: Another Broadway revival, directed and choreographed by Susan Stroman, opened on April 27, 2000 at the Neil Simon Theatre, where it ran for 699 performances and 22 previews. The cast included Craig Bierko (making his Broadway debut) as Hill and Rebecca Luker as Marian. Robert Sean Leonard and Eric McCormack portrayed Hill later in the run.

text: In 2008, there was a revival at the Chichester Festival Theatre, England, starring Brian Conley as Hill and Scarlett Strallen as Marian.[14][15]

text: Synopsis[edit]

text: Act I[edit]

text: In the early summer of 1912, aboard a train leaving Rock Island, Illinois,[16] Charlie Cowell and other traveling salesmen engage in a heated argument about consumer credit ("Rock Island").  The conversation eventually turns to another topic: a con man known as "Professor" Harold Hill, who scams parents by promising to form boys bands, taking payments for instruments and uniforms and skipping town with the money before being exposed.[17] Upon the train’s arrival in River City, Iowa, a stranger stands up and declares, "Gentlemen, you intrigue me. I think I shall have to give Iowa a try."  Retrieving his suitcase, clearly labeled "Professor Harold Hill," he exits the train.

text: After townspeople of River City describe their reserved, "chip-on-the-shoulder attitude" ("Iowa Stubborn"), Harold stumbles across his old friend and shill, Marcellus Washburn, who has "gone legit" and now lives in the town. Marcellus tells Harold that Marian Paroo, the librarian who gives piano lessons, is the only trained musician in town. He also informs Hill that a new pool table was just delivered to the town's local billiard parlor, so to launch his scheme, Harold convinces River City parents of the "trouble" that can come from a pool table ("Ya Got Trouble"). Harold follows Marian home, attempting to flirt with her, but she ignores him.  At home, Marian gives a piano lesson to a little girl named Amaryllis while arguing with her widowed mother about her high "standards where men are concerned", telling Mrs. Paroo about the man who followed her home ("Piano Lesson/If You Don't Mind My Saying So"). Marian's self-conscious, lisping 10-year-old brother Winthrop arrives home. Amaryllis, who secretly likes Winthrop but teases him about the lisp, asks Marian whom she should say goodnight to on the evening star, since she doesn't have a sweetheart. Marian tells her to just say goodnight to her "someone" ("Goodnight, My Someone").

text: The next day, Mayor Shinn and his overbearing wife Eulalie MacKecknie Shinn lead the festivities for Independence Day at the high school gym ("Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean") but are interrupted by a firecracker set off by local troublemaker Tommy Djilas. Harold takes the stage and announces to the townspeople that he will prevent "sin and corruption" from the pool table by forming a boys' band ("Ya Got Trouble [Reprise]/Seventy-Six Trombones"). Mayor Shinn, who owns the billiard parlor, tells the bickering school board to get Harold's credentials, but Harold teaches them to sing as a Barbershop Quartet to distract them ("Ice Cream/Sincere"). Harold also sets up Zaneeta, the mayor's eldest daughter, with Tommy, and persuades Tommy to work as his assistant. After another rejection by Marian, Harold is determined to win her, telling Marcellus that she is the girl for him ("The Sadder But Wiser Girl"). The town ladies are very excited about the band and the ladies' dance committee that Harold plans to form. He mentions Marian, and they imply (falsely, as it turns out) that she had an affair with a now-deceased miser, who willed the library building to the town but left all the books to Marian. They warn Harold that she advocates "dirty books" by "Chaucer, Rabelais and Balzac" ("Pick-a-Little, Talk-a-Little"). The school board arrives to review Harold's credentials, but he leads them in song and slips away ("Goodnight, Ladies").

text: The next day, Harold walks into the library and attempts to woo Marian in earnest ("Marian the Librarian"). For a moment, she forgets her decorum and dances with Harold and the teenagers. Harold kisses her; when she tries to slap him, she accidentally hits Tommy instead. With Tommy's help, Harold signs up all the boys in town to be in his band, including Winthrop. Mrs. Paroo likes Harold and tries to find out why Marian is not interested. Marian describes her ideal man ("My White Knight"). She tries to give Mayor Shinn evidence against Harold that she found in the Indiana State Educational Journal, but they are interrupted by the arrival of the Wells Fargo wagon, which delivers the band instruments ("The Wells Fargo Wagon"). When Winthrop forgets to be shy and self-conscious because he is so happy about his new cornet, Marian begins to see Harold in a new light. She tears the incriminating page out of the Journal before giving the book to Mayor Shinn.

text: Act II[edit]

text: The ladies rehearse their classical dance in the school gym while the school board practices their quartet ("It's You") for the ice cream social. Marcellus and the town's teenagers interrupt the ladies' practice, taking over the gym as they dance ("Shipoopi"). Harold grabs Marian to dance with her, and all the teenagers join in. Regarding Winthrop's cornet, Marian later questions Harold about his claim that "you don't have to bother with the notes". He explains that this is what he calls "The Think System", and he arranges to call on Marian to discuss it. The town ladies ask Marian to join their dance committee, since she was "so dear dancing the Shipoopi" with Professor Hill ("Pick-a-Little, Talk-a-Little" [Reprise]). They have reversed their opinions about her books, and they eagerly tell her that "the Professor told us to read those books, and we simply adored them all!"

text: That night, the school board tries to collect Harold's credentials again, but he gets them to sing again and slips away ("Lida Rose"). Marian, meanwhile, is sitting on her front porch thinking of Harold ("Will I Ever Tell You?"). Winthrop returns home after spending time with Harold and tells Marian and Mrs. Paroo about Harold's hometown ("Gary, Indiana"). As Marian waits alone for Harold, traveling salesman Charlie Cowell enters with evidence against Harold, hoping to tell Mayor Shinn. He only has a few minutes before his train leaves, but stops to flirt with Marian. She tries to delay him so he doesn't have time to deliver the evidence, eventually kissing him. As the train whistle blows, she pushes him away. Charlie angrily tells Marian that Harold has a girl in "every county in Illinois, and he's taken it from every one of them – and that's 102 counties!"

text: Harold arrives, and after he reminds her of the untrue rumors he's heard about her, she convinces herself that Charlie invented everything he told her. They agree to meet at the footbridge, where Marian tells him the difference he's made in her life ("Till There Was You"). Marcellus interrupts and tells Harold that the uniforms have arrived. He urges Harold to take the money and run, but Harold refuses to leave, insisting, "I've come up through the ranks... and I'm not resigning without my commission". He returns to Marian, who tells him that she's known since three days after he arrived that he is a fraud. (Harold earlier claimed to have graduated from the Gary Conservatory in 1905, but Gary, Indiana, was not founded until 1906.) Because she loves him, she gives him the incriminating page out of the Indiana State Educational Journal. She leaves, promising to see him later at the Sociable. With his schemes for the boys' band and Marian proceeding even better than planned, Harold confidently sings "Seventy-Six Trombones". As he overhears Marian singing "Goodnight My Someone", Harold suddenly realizes that he is in love with Marian; he and Marian sing a snatch of each other's songs.

text: Meanwhile, Charlie Cowell, who has missed his train, arrives at the ice cream social and denounces Harold Hill as a fraud. The townspeople begin an agitated search for Harold. Winthrop is heartbroken and tells Harold that he wishes Harold never came to River City. But Marian tells Winthrop that she believes everything Harold ever said, for it did come true in the way every kid in town talked and acted that summer. She and Winthrop urge Harold to get away. He chooses to stay and tells Marian that he never really fell in love until he met her ("Till There Was You" [Reprise]). The constable then handcuffs Harold and leads him away.

text: Mayor Shinn leads a meeting in the high school gym to decide what to do with Harold, asking, "Where's the band? Where's the band?"  Marian defends Harold. Tommy enters as a drum major, followed by the kids in uniform with their instruments. Marian urges Harold to lead the River City Boys' Band in Beethoven's Minuet in G. Despite the boys' limited musical ability, the parents in the audience are nonetheless enraptured by the sight of their children playing music. Even Mayor Shinn is won over, and, as the townspeople cheer, Harold is released into Marian's arms ("Finale").

Notes:
As this musical concerns a marching band, Willson's orchestration for several of the numbers includes band instruments.[18][19]

text: "Lida Rose" and "Will I Ever Tell You", sung first separately and then simultaneously, are examples of Broadway counterpoint (songs with separate lyrics and separate melodies that harmonize and are designed to be sung together). Similarly, "Pickalittle" and "Good Night Ladies" are also sung first separately, and then in counterpoint.  Willson's counterpoint, along with two counterpoint song pairs from Irving Berlin musicals, are lampooned in the 1959 musical Little Mary Sunshine, where three counterpoint songs are combined: "Playing Croquet," "Swinging" and "How Do You Do?."  "Goodnight, My Someone" is the same tune, in waltz time, as the march-tempo "Seventy-six Trombones".[20]

text: In the 1962 movie, the 1980 and 2000 revivals, and some amateur and regional productions, "Gary, Indiana" is sung in Act I by Harold and Mrs. Paroo (between "Marian the Librarian" and "My White Knight"), with Winthrop singing a reprise of it in Act II.[citation needed]

text: Setting and popular culture references[edit]

text: The Music Man is set in the fictional town of River City, Iowa, in 1912. The town is based in large part on Willson's birthplace, Mason City, Iowa, and many of the musical's characters are based on people that Willson observed in the town.[citation needed]. The "river" in River City is probably the Mississippi River near Davenport, Iowa: the Rock Island conductor's announcing "River City, Iowa! Cigarettes illegal in this state" implies crossing the Mississippi from Rock Island, Illinois, into Iowa. The year 1912 was a time of relative innocence, as recalled in 1957 after two world wars, the Great Depression and the arrival of atomic weapons.[citation needed]

text: The musical includes numerous references to popular culture of the time. For example, in making his pitch, Harold Hill lists popular musicians and composers: Gilmore, Pat Conway, Giuseppe Creatore, W.C. Handy and John Philip Sousa.[21] Some of the cultural references are anachronistic: "Trouble" contains references to both Captain Billy's Whiz Bang, a monthly humor magazine that did not begin publication until October 1919, and the nonalcoholic "near-beer" Bevo, which was first brewed in 1916.[22][23] In addition, Rafael Méndez (referred to by Hill as "O'Mendez," a great "Irish" trumpeter) was six years old in 1912.[24]

text: Recordings[edit]

text: The first recording of "Till There Was You" was released before the original cast album version. Promotional copies of the 45 rpm single, Capitol P3847, were released on November 26, 1957, even before the Broadway production had premiered. Produced by Nelson Riddle, it featured his orchestra and 17-year-old vocalist Sue Raney.

text: The original cast recording was released by Capitol Records on January 20, 1958 in stereophonic & monaural versions and held the #1 spot on the Billboard charts for twelve weeks, remaining on the charts for a total of 245 weeks. The cast album was awarded "Best Original Cast Album" at the first Grammy Awards ceremony in 1958 and was inducted in 1998 as a Grammy Hall of Fame Award winner.[25]

text: In 1959, jazz composer and arranger Jimmy Giuffre released Jimmy Giuffre and His Music Men Play The Music Man, consisting of jazz arrangements of tunes from the musical.[26]

text: "Till There Was You" was covered by Anita Bryant in 1959 as a single for Carlton Records, reaching #30 on the Billboard Hot 100.[27] ln 1963, The Beatles covered "Till There Was You" on their second  LP With the Beatles (issued on Meet the Beatles! in the United States). Willson's widow later told The New York Times that his estate made more money from the royalties of the Beatles' recordings of "Till There Was You" than it did from the musical.[28]

text: Adaptations[edit]

text: The film version, again starring Preston, with Shirley Jones as Marian, was released in 1962.[29]

text: The success of the 2000 stage revival prompted a 2003 television movie starring Matthew Broderick as Hill and Kristin Chenoweth as Marian, with Victor Garber, Debra Monk, and Molly Shannon in supporting roles.

text: Reception[edit]

text: Though West Side Story had opened nearly three months earlier, The Music Man captured audiences, critics and five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The New York Times theatre critic Brooks Atkinson wrote in his review "If Mark Twain could have collaborated with Vachel Lindsay, they might have devised a rhythmic lark like The Music Man, which is as American as apple pie and a Fourth of July oration.... The Music Man is a marvelous show, rooted in wholesome and comic tradition."[30]

text: Walter Kerr of the Herald Tribune glowingly described the opening scene of the musical: "It's the beat that does it. The overture of The Music Man drives off with a couple of good, shrill whistles and a heave-ho blast from half the brass in the pit, with the heartier trombonists lurching to their feet in a blare of enthusiasm. The curtain sails up to disclose the most energetic engine on the Rock Island Railroad (circa 1912) hurtling across the proscenium with real smoke pouring out of its smokestack and real steam rolling along the rails".[3] Kerr called Preston "indefatigable: he's got zest and gusto and a great big grin for another slam-bang march tune".[3] Robert Coleman of the New York Daily Mirror wrote that the producer "made a 10-strike in landing Robert Preston for the title role", stating that Preston "paces the piece dynamically, acts ingratiatingly, sings as if he'd been doing it all his life, and offers steps that would score on the cards of dance judges".[3]

text: Frank Aston of the New York World-Telegram and Sun declared "It deserves to run at least a decade", especially praising Barbara Cook's performance as Marian: "If all our stack-tenders looked, sang, danced, and acted like Miss Barbara, this nation's book learning would be overwhelming".[3] John Chapman of the Daily News pronounced The Music Man "one of the few great musical comedies of the last 26 years", stating that Of Thee I Sing (1931) "set a standard for fun and invention which has seldom been reached. Its equal arrived in 1950 – Guys and Dolls – and I would say that The Music Man ranks with these two".[3] In the Journal-American, John McClain deemed the show "a whopping hit. This salute by Meredith Willson to his native Iowa will make even Oklahoma! look to its laurels".[3]

text: The Music Man's popularity has led to its being mentioned, quoted, parodied or pastiched in a number of media, including television, films and popular music.

text: The Music Man has been parodied in a number of TV shows, including The Simpsons episode "Marge vs. the Monorail", written by Conan O'Brien. At some point during the second Broadway revival, O'Brien was approached about playing the role of Harold Hill for a brief run, but he ultimately could not fit it into his schedule. He says, on the DVD commentary track for the aforementioned Simpsons episode, that it was the hardest choice he's ever had to make professionally, because The Music Man is one of his favorites. O'Brien did, however, as host of the 2006 Emmy Awards, sing a parody version of "Ya Got Trouble" in his opening monologue targeting NBC and their slide in the ratings.

text: The television program Family Guy has parodied the musical at least three times. In the episode "Brian Wallows and Peter's Swallows", Lois chastises Brian's high standards in a spoof of "Piano Lesson". In another episode, "Patriot Games", Peter showboats after scoring a touchdown by leading a stadium full of people in a rendition of "Shipoopi", complete with choreography from the film. In Episode 22 of Boston Legal, "Men to Boys", Alan Shore sings a parody of the song "Trouble" to convince patrons of a restaurant not to eat the salmon.  Several Music Man songs were used in Ally McBeal, for example in the season 2 episode "Sex, Lies and Politics" in which lawyer John Cage spurs the jury into singing "Ya Got Trouble" with him.[31]  Season 2 Episode 15 (2012), "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000", of the TV show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, makes numerous allusions to The Music Man, including a song based on "Ya Got Trouble".[32]

text: MSNBC's Keith Olbermann has numerous times referred to Fox News TV host Glenn Beck as "Harold Hill" on the air.[33][34][35]

text: In the 1960 film The Apartment, Jack Lemmon's character is given tickets to the show but is stood up at the Majestic Theatre. In Romy and Michele's High School Reunion (1997), Michele sings "The Wells Fargo Wagon". The next year, in The Wedding Singer (1998), Robbie teaches Rosie to sing "'Til There Was You" for her 50th wedding anniversary.

text: The 2006 mockumentary/documentary Pittsburgh centers on actor Jeff Goldblum as he attempts to secure a green card for his Canadian actor/singer/dancer girlfriend, Catherine Wreford, by appearing with her as the leads in a summer regional theatre production of The Music Man in Goldblum's hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

text: The political satire group, the Capitol Steps, parodies numerous songs from musicals, including The Music Man. To evoke turn of the 20th century Main Street USA at some of its theme parks around the world, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts uses songs from the show, including: "76 Trombones", "Iowa Stubborn", "Wells Fargo Wagon", and "Lida Rose".

text: The North Iowa Band Festival in Mason City, Iowa is a yearly event celebrating music with a special emphasis on marching bands.  Willson returned several times to his home town of Mason City during the 1950s to participate in the event, including leading the "Big Parade".  The premiere of the motion picture The Music Man was held in Mason City, and the Festival reflected the event with appearances by stars of the film, including Shirley Jones and Robert Preston.
