Free Music Notes for Company - A Musical Comedy (1970 Original Broadway Cast)Free Music Review: Company - A Musical Comedy (1970 Original Broadway Cast) Hit: 5 Stars
Company is one of my favorite musicals ever! It's funny, witty and a musical! I may not have seen the original cast perform, but the cast who performed it stayed true to the musical piece. So when I listen to the CD, I don't feel like I missed out a lot.. The music and lyrics are just hilarious! Listening to it keeps me "company" in traffic.. It really is very entertaining.
Not to mention, Stephen Sondheim is GOD!
Free Music Review: In Great Company Hit: 5 Stars
The original Broadway cast album is still the standard by which to judge all others. Except for the added track of Being Alive (rhythmically static) the songs are so well presented one wonders how any revival can compare. Knowing the show intimately from listening to the cassette for years I am thrilled to have it on CD with good acoustic balance.
Free Music Review: Company is one of the best CD's I've ever heard. Hit: 5 Stars
From the dry tones of Elaine Stritch to the sweet voices of Teri Ralston and Merle Louise, this CD should be on every theater lovers shelf. Dean Jones gives a great performance as Bobby and I love the bonus track of Being Alive done by Larry Kert. No doubt that this is one of Stephen Sondheim's greatest musicals.
Free Music Review: Bobby, Bobby baby Bobby bubbie Hit: 5 Stars
Mr. Sondheims first composition as well as lyrics of a broadway play and I just saw a univerity revival; A great play with some wonderful music. the CD is top drawer. Pannybaker has a documentary about the making of the albumn and it is alo available. Highly recommended.
Free Music Review: Elaine Strich- SHE CAN SING Hit: 5 Stars
All of the above reviews criticize Elaine Strich's singing. I am a tough singing critic, and to me she sounds just fine. Not the world's best, just fine. Brilliant on these songs, though. "The Ladies who Lunch"... What a masterpiece!
