DVD Reviews of Company
DVD Review: Perfect Company
Summary: 5 Stars
The DVD of the PBS performance of "Company" is a joy for any Stephen Sondheim fan. This revival is staged with the actors singing and playing the instruments as well as playing their roles. They are a remarkable group of talented performers, each one perfectly suited to his character. Raul Esparza is the center of the action and makes Bobby a real person, rather than the bland nonentity he often is. Words and music are Sondheim at his best and his interview at the end reminds us how clever and talented he is. DVD Review: In very good "COMPANY"
Summary: 4 Stars
The wonderful musical by Steven Sondheim.(COMPANY)
I missed it the first time around; don't know how,
but it is wonderful. It's so good that I've bought several
additional copies and given them to others to enjoy.
The music is amazing. As I say, how did I miss this when
it first appeared.?
Thank you Steven Sondheim for your creative genius.
DVD Review: What a great Company
Summary: 5 Stars
Company is one of the best musicals written by Stephen Sondheim.I was fortunate to see this production when it was first done at The Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park.I knew then that this would be a very successful musical. I didn't see the original production but did hear the album. Plus one of Cincinnati's own Pam Myers was in the original and nominated for a Tony. This production is as good if not better than the original. Run don't walk and buy this DVD. You won't be sorrry.DVD Review: Great performance of a classic Sondheim musical
Summary: 4 Stars
I originally rented this Blu-ray from Blockbuster. I liked it so much I watched it a second time and then bought a copy for myself. I finally got around to watching my own copy recently and learned to my dismay that its publisher, Image Entertainment, misrepresented its video resolution as being 1080p when it was actually only 1080i. Don't get me wrong, this disc is still very much high definition and looks good but not as good as it would have if it had been mastered at 1080p.
With that bit of technical crankiness out of the way, let me say that this filmed performance was actually played live on Broadway. The production won the 2007 Tony Award for Best Musical; the show's star, Raul Esparza, won the Best Actor in a Musical Tony for his terrific performance as Bobby. Highest marks go to to both the performers and Stephen Sondheim's wonderful old warhorse, Company.
Highly recommended. The only reason I give it 4 Stars instead of 5 is that its video resolution is not quite what I have come to expect from the typical Blu-ray disc. Nevertheless, you can't go wrong here.
DVD Review: Sondheim and Esparza: what more can I say?
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the kind of production that shows what Broadway was invented for. And what DVD's were invented for. So that those of us who live too far from NYC can see the kind of show, and the kind of star, that give you goosebumps even on a TV screen.
Description of Company
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
