Company

I love Company and always have. Great muic. Great story. I generally am not crazy about filmed theatrical pieces but this is perfect. You feel like you are onstage with the cast and the voices and acting are top rate. Big thumbs up

This video is incredible, making me feel like I actually saw the Broadway production, not just a video of it. The camerawork is unobtrusive but intimate, and the performances are subtle enough to be enhanced by the cameras, not washed out like taped performances often are. This excellent Sondheim musical has finally been captured for the ages. Any fan of Sondheim or musical theater needs to see this, or own it.

I am so happy this came out on DVD. We are huge Sondheim fans and couldn't make it to NY to see this live, but just watching this gave me goosebumps like I was there. Great addition to your Sondheim library.

The perfect way to spend an evening.

Though Sondheim's work is always poignant and magnificent, John Doyle's staging of "Company" raises the bar for Sondheim revivals. The DVD has beautiful sound, and the cameras get up close and personal with the cast to make the viewer feel he is on stage with Esparza (who, by the way, is perfectly cast in this role).

Five stars!

This production was A-Plus especially when shown on a Hi-Def 42" TV.
I am a huge Larry Kert fan, and always regretted not seeing the original back then, but Raul Esparza is exceptional. I can't imagine anyone else in this role. I love the intelligence of Sondheim's scores, and the staging very clever. I was totally entertained and I'm ready to see it again. The only drawback for me was the song "Getting Married Today", Ive seen Beth Howland and Madeline Kahn do it and it was difficult to understand, and it is a witty and humorous song. I could not get half of what was being sung by the actress that played Amy. Besides that It was perfect!
