my idea of the context is different. at this moment, the man is decided to invite someone into his life, with the understanding that his own life would be changed, good or bad. That would bring life to his life,thus being alive. There is too much pain in his singing for that. out of context, it's amazing, though.

Performing opposite Raul in Sunday was the highlight of my life. I come across these videos and I'll never forget seeing this show and also... his "finishing the hat". amazing.

I just saw the 2021 revival off-Broadway in Boston last night. It was good, but it wasn’t this. I expect that Raúl’s performance will always be my favorite, and that I will always compare ANY rendition to this version. “MOCK ME WITH PRAISE” is the culmination point of the entire show, because it serves as the catharsis and release of all the frustration and tension that has been building until this point. If Bobby doesn’t hit that line right, the entire performance, the entire musical, is less for it. It all comes down to that one line. If it isn’t delivered with the right mix emotions, the whole thing kind of flops. No one has ever done it like Raúl Esparza.

This was an innovative version of "Company," with the performers playing the instruments. Sondheim was a genius and his art is open to many interpretations. Excellent performance of "Being Alive."

When I first saw this version of Company on PBS one night I was brought to tears at the end. I had no idea who Raul Esparza was or what the play was about. OMG. I still cry when I watch this ending.
@TheChannelTV-bt8em11 ай бұрын
Great show, Esparza is superb but sorry, the musical instruments held by the other cast members are really obtrusive and pretentious. Just a pseudo-innovative theatrical gimmick done for this production only.
