Thank you for such a skillful video of an exciting performance. I saw the original production in NYC c. 1970 and remember the orchestra blew the roof off the Alvin Theater. Kudos to you for a most impressive job of conducting a rather unwieldy number from the great Sondheim canon.

This is fascinating to me. It's the first time I've been able to pick out the individual parts!

[@Permaglo]

This is great! Sometimes I feel like I'm listening to the original cast recording. And I like this much better than any of the Broadway revivals.

[@RonMotta1972]

Wow. Just...wow. An amazing rendition of one of my all-time favorite musical numbers. Brilliant.

He's the Perfect Bobby. Not really a great singer, but so genuine and happy!

This Bobby is…meh. The whole thing feels so sterile. Company is supposed to be gritty and real. 🤷🏼‍♂️
