A Wonderful Recording
by The Doctor's CompanionThis is a simply devine recording of a wonderful revivial of a marvelous show. After having watched to film of the revival many times I decided to buy the recording of it. It is great. The only problem with it is is that it does lose some of the spark of a live performance, but what recording doesn't? The added dialouge tracks can be annoying when they pop up in your shuffle, but they provide explanation when listening to the recording in full. Do buy!
Masterful.
by listener728John Doyle does an amazing job with another of Sondheim's prime musicals. Personally, I prefer this show to the Sweeney Todd revival.
Raul Esparza is perfect as Bobby. His solo performances ("Someone is Waiting," "Marry Me a Little," and especially "Being Alive") are what truly makes the show, save the slightly out-of-place falsetto ending of "Someone Is Waiting", but no matter.
In addition, Barbara Walsh and Heather Laws were great choices for the roles of JoAnne and Amy respectively. Walsh's intensity in her rendition of "The Ladies Who Lunch" rivals that of Elaine Stritch, which is by no means an easy feat. Laws shines in her frantic rendition of "Getting Married Today," she was skittish and adorable without pushing the song to the brink of unintelligibility.
Also, I believe that John Doyle's signature actor-musician ensemble was perfectly tailored to this show. The orchestrations in this show also do not seem thin, as they did sometimes in his production of Sweeney Todd.
All in all, it's a great production. I would wholly recommend purchasing this album.
I love Company, But Not This One
by Beans66Having loved "Company" since it's original production, I've memorized the songs. When I heard that PBS was to air the 2006 production, a Tony winner, I was thrilled. I got the DVR fired up, waited in breathless anticipation. What a disappointment.
Mr. Doyle's "no musicians" gimmick has run it's course. Clearly, Sondheim strongly disagrees with my opinion, since Doyle is directing Sondheim's new musical.
I fear that seeing the show in person wouldn't have helped. The characters were so unlikable that I was puzzled why Bobby was friends with any of them. The music was regrettably reduced to minimalist versions and even the costumes were ugly. I tried to picture Elaine Stritch's Joanne walking around the stage pinging on a triangle, and just couldn't do it. Stritch managed to make Joanne compelling in a snarky, truth-telling way. The 2006 Joanne was simply strident.
I recommend that fans of Company get a copy of the documentary that Pennebaker did of the recording session for the first cast recording. It's thrilling.
If I haven't made myself clear, I hate this show. I shudder to think what John Doyle could do to Assassins--Henry Giteau playing a clarinet as he climbs the steps to the gallows?
