I was so excited to see the new production of COMPANY on Broadway. I was a big fan of the original Broadway cast recording, I had even been in a production of SIDE BY SIDE BY SONDHEIM and performed many of the songs, and I had heard such great things about John Doyle's production of SWEENEY TODD (I chose not to see it, since the cast recording's orchestral parts were so scarce, it put me off). I cannot remember a time when an evening in the theatre was so dissapointing. In an effort to be once again clever (or to save money) the cast was also the orchestra. They were all GREAT musicians. They were terrible actors, and the singing was mediocre at best. The staging comprised of actors with their instruments, walking around the stage in circles. Endless, slow, large circles...I was nearly sea-sick. ANOTHER HUNDRED PEOPLE, was sung with the actor on the piano, and was sung with the enthusiasm of someone preparing her grocery list. The whole cast seemed bored, but then so was I. The only thing I liked about it, was the guy who played Robert...but I saw the understudy. I understand Raul Esparza is very good...but his supporting cast was just plain dull. I hope this is the end of "hey let's let the actors play instruments" directing. If you would like to purchase a wonderful recording of a great Broadway musical...go no further than the ORIGINAL recording, where the actors were expected to sing and act! Imagine that! What's next? Will actors also be expected to design and control the lighting? Let actors act and sing...spend the extra money and get an orchestra.
