Average Rating: out of 5 stars
Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - A deconstruction

The John Doyle actors-carrying-instruments schtick
is hopelessly distracting.It's essentially a de-construction,
as in the Peter Sellers lampoons of Mozart.

The orchestrations are awkward and intrusive, probably to
accommodate the actor-musicians.

The performers and performances are all fine.It would
be a good audio production, if you can ignore the orchestrations.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Perfect Company
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 ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - In very good "COMPANY"
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.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - What a great Company
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.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great performance of a classic Sondheim musical
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.
