DVD Reviews of Company: A Musical Comedy
DVD Review: Company....not very much company
Summary: 2 Stars
I read the reviews before purchasing and feel I should have
not bought it because they were so accurate. I didn't
care for the dvd. I quit watching the video 1/2 through.
The singers are great, but the play is cynical and not
uplifting at all.
DVD Review: Even Better Company
Summary: 5 Stars
"Company" was the first Sondheim musical I saw on stage in London's West End. It was the
beginning of a life-long love. The man is - without hyperbole - a genius. And this production
of "Company" proves it. Who would have thought that anyone could improve upon the original
staging? But in almost every way, this digs deeper and mines the psychological truths embedded
in a work that shows that this "musical comedy", like Shakespeare's comedies, to touch profound
depths. Unequivocally recommended.
DVD Review: Company
Summary: 5 Stars
Great musical, well done, great production ... got it in a timely manner and everything was goodDVD Review: Excellent blu ray with a couple of flaws
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an excellent disc, with a couple of flaws.
I think the absence of subtitles is particularly important here, because the singers' diction, while very good, is not as absolutely clear as it might be, or as it is on the original cast recording of COMPANY. And of course Sondheim's lyrics are tricky enough that at some point almost everyone is going to need subtitles to follow them.
Another reviewer has already mentioned a certain overintensity in the lead performer. I didn't notice that, but the singer who does "The Ladies Who Lunch" is overintense indeed. This is her decision, and the song is so famous for its mordancy that I can hardly blame her for overplaying its bitterness, but I think a touch of humor would have made the song better, and that finally it collapses under the extreme self-importance she imparts to it.
If the other critic and I are both right, this entire production suffers a little from its exaggerated seriousness.
DVD Review: 'Company,' the Broadway musical
Summary: 4 Stars
Price was right. Product came on time. I have not had the chance to view it
Description of Company: A Musical Comedy
Winner of the 2007 Tony Award! Sweeping all the major theater awards for Best Revival of a Musical, a beloved era-defining classic is stunningly reinvented in this powerful Broadway production, featuring an explosive starring performance by Raul Esparza. Set in modern upper-crust Manhattan, Company is a funny, sophisticated exploration of love and commitment as seen through the eyes of a charming perpetual bachelor questioning his single state and his enthusiastically married, slightly envious friends. With a wise and witty Stephen Sondheim score including "Another Hundred People," "Side by Side by Side," "The Ladies Who Lunch" and "Being Alive," Company offers musical comedy at its finest.General DVDs
