 Landmark Performance June 23, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
A taping of the Broadway production, I had my misgivings when I sat down to watch this. Although it had been hailed as a landmark production, the idea of watching a musical in which the actors were the orchestra when they weren't in character was a concept that I just couldn't wrap my mind around. But I watched it, and what a revelation! Not only were the musical instruments not distracting, they were extensions of the characters. A clever interpretation of a landmark musical!! And what performances...Each and every character comes alive. But Raul Esparza's Bobby is a marvel. I finished this thinking that I had witnessed greatness. Esparza's acting is filled with subtle nuance. It is amazing! Company is incredible, and we are indeed fortunate that this performance was captured for posterity!
Like being in the front row June 20, 2008

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
One of the best video presentations of theater I've ever seen June 18, 2008

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.
Great fun June 18, 2008

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!
