I listen to this version of Barcelona all the time. It’s so wonderful ♥️

I really love this production and how it isn't just trying to be like the original

2:18:04 I enjoyed him as Willy Wonka

I love how different this production is

What's a doing there??

Adrian Lester's gestures and body language is amazing. The acting in this production has me completely engrossed.

The vocals are not the best, but this cast is so clearly working their asses off. The acting and choreography are top notch.

Harry was fantastic in sorry/grateful

The awful American accents are amazing

Sheila nailed it!

Am I the only person annoyed by the tempos though???

I'm only about halfway through on this, but there really is something special about this production. The NPH and Esparza versions obviously have their strengths in both comedy and singing respectively, but they always felt too... flat. When people criticize Company for the underdeveloped characters or lackluster protagonist, I see those versions and think... yeaaaah. But this, this one is an achievement in acting. Once I saw how the dialogue between Sarah, Harry, and Bobby was both natural and subtle in its commentary, I was enthralled. I'm gonna keep going, but out of the three I've been seeing, this is the one that's captured me most.

A brilliant and intimate production (for which Lester won a well-deserved Olivier award). Thank you for uploading it, since BBC has never made it available on DVD.

I love this version. I think this might be my favorite one I've seen. These feel like real people to me. Adrian Lester's rendition of "Being Alive" was absolutely incredible. Chills all over.

This production is uh... Rough. However they nail the pacing and energy, and frame it in a very unique way, and the Joanne scene at the end is absolutely fantastic. I think company's biggest strength is the ability to do whatever you want with it and make a show worth watching, and this production demonstrates it well. I revisit it frequently.

I watched the one with NPH first and it was charming and entertaining and thought provoking too, but it was a comedy. This version is drama. I love this take. The singing is a bit rough, but there is a different poignancy in this version, it is a little darker, it cuts deeper and the staging works terrifically. It brought the musical into focus for me in a whole new way.

I think this is the only way to act the book and sing the songs. I always suspect Sondheim actually likes how he himself sings despite what he says and sometimes writes a show to be performed entirely conversationally like this. The 'Good' singing in other productions of Company is tough for me

1:03:19 just a bookmark for myself

No Tick Tock 😔

this marta is insane lmaoo

I love how this production does a cocaine induced Side by Side... but then cuts the sex dance Tick Tock . If any production fits that number it’s this one 😂

Sarah's always such a bitch, but this particular actress's "I love you" to Harry is the most believable. I was taken a-back and somewhat moved.

What fun. Reminds me of when I did Side by Side by Sondheim at an Equity Waver Theatre years ago...

No Kathy dance...

Wow! I’ve seen so many productions of “Company” but I have to say this was most delightful! The acting is so good! I haven’t seen such a relatable ‘Bobby’ interpretation as this one - an extraordinarily realistic one. Fabulous cast!

I just hate this version of April. Shes supposed to be naive not erratic. She is not book smart at all but she has a secret wisdom. This version just makes her seem like a toddler.

Thank you, you uploading human!

big fan of the show. this one is... interesting... a bit over the top at times, but my main criticism is, as good an actor as "bobby" is, and he is, he's just a bad singer. how do you cast the lead role in a professional production w/someone who can't really sing? again, great actor, but still...... i think i'm a bit of a purist, and, despite sondheims comments/approval, a bit too much revisionist history going on here, stylistically and otherwise. but, overall, despite my comments, still worth a view, and still entertaining

What an interesting video. How did such a rough community theater production get filmed professionally?

This is my favorite production

Hello. I'm conducting research on musical theatre and attitudinal change for Sondheim productions for my AP Research class in my high school. It requires the use of this recording. Do I have permission to use it? And if so, is there a way you could email (tinawindham18@gmail.com) me a downloadable version of this recording please? Thank you!

Bobby’s accent is so painful. It’s so unnatural as to be...robotic. I couldn’t watch it.

Around 2:05:00

Came here after watching Marriage Story

I can watch this on UA-cam on the big TV 🤗😘Me, Sally M., Dec. 9, 2019

I’ve seen a few different iterations of Company and enjoyed aspects of them all, but this is the first time these people felt at all real to me. The first time I felt like I “got” what they were each about on any real level.

I really like Adrian Lester. I like a lot about this production. But a lot of the other actors are just not good, particularly Amy and Joanne.

For all the hate that this production gets, their interpretation of “side by side/what would we do without you” is absolutely genius. Definitely my favourite.

why do they keep saying "marrehd" ?

This gives me a high school theatre vibe…

The performances are garish. Everyone's kind of a parody. I have the feeling that the rehearsal process involved a lot of Mendes telling them "Bigger! Weirder! Drag it out!" and this is what they ended up with. It's gradually won me over. I just think it needed to be faster. Most of the songs and dialogue seem too slow.

Lord, Joanne has a gift for singing flat and it stands out. Anna Francolini's gesturing is over the top as if she is singing in Convent Garden. She has an odd strange style by biting off her lower notes and a few mistakes here and there but great belting. Amy is one of my favorite characters in the show by far. I can't help it but I do like Sophie Thompson as Amy. Michael Simkins has a nice voice and Rebecca Front as the wedding singer? She is damn good! Yes, people mention the accents but how long did these performers have to put this show together? Not everyone can be Meryl Streep and she may have a lot more preparation time to create an accurate accent with no doubt a diction coach. I do admit that I prefer seeing it here for free than if I had paid a ticket price to see it live.

A Zombie performance of what once was entertainment.

I love Neil Patrick Harris and the NY Philharmonic production of "Company" but it seems a bit like fluff after watching the Donmar production with Adrian Lester. This is a more serious look at Bobby. For those who have trouble with Lester's performance which I think is stunning (Watch his reactions and his face. Watch his pain.), it's maybe helpful to recall what SS said in his intermission interview the the director, Sam Mendes: "What you've made clear, as the director, is that it's something that takes place inside the hero's head, and by doing that, you've reversed the polarity, so to speak, of the show's reputation. It's always been known as the show with a lot of fascinating characters, and a cipher at the center. And suddenly, here's a show in which the most interesting character is the one at the center, and it's been restored to its natural balance. Here's a piece about this man, and it's taking place inside his head, and he's in trouble. Now let's see what happens."

How is this acting considered good? The "Not Getting Married" scene is so cartoonish and awful...and why can no one sing? lol.

The nightmarish absurdity of this production is WONDERFUL. The trick candles. The overly exaggerated garish qualities of otherwise grounded characters. The staging and pacing in general. This might be my new favorite version Ive ever seen. Swoon!
