COMPANY Original Cast Reunion NY Title Number

1993

[@yoyoeldas]

Haha Elaine Stritch frequently moving up and down an octave and later just resolving to bark out her lines 🤣🤣🤣 just the way she always has been :)

[@fathersodear825]

She's truly the best haha

[@Loganjlr]

It just sounds right haha

[@zoeyan708]

Elaine Stritch is just shouting, love it! Missing you, Steve.....

[@FolliesFan-yu8mf]

Just two sentences: "we love you" and "what will we do without you".

[@albertwilkes4858]

Most of them have passed away. There won't be another Company like this one. Never!

[@adrianariveraproductions]

To be honest, they sound almost exact to the 1970 recording. You'd never know they aged. If you listened close, you could tell but...they really sound good!

[@stevendoitteau9632]

Spectacular! Proof that Stephen was not only talented, but was the essence of Broadway musicals! Will never be another like him.

[@janettefrancis7445]

What a genius Stephen was he will be remembered for musicals and especially west side story r I p to a great man

[@michaelsharpe5758]

He would hate to be remembered "especially for West Side Story" of all shows,when he was embarrassed by almost all of his contribution to it. What an ill advised choice when you could have picked any one of the shows for which the great Sondheim wrote both music and lyrics.

[@briankooker2627]

@@michaelsharpe5758 easy there bucko. We are all distraught this past week, but no need to lay judgement on Janette like that. West Side Story is a masterpiece and the lyrics add to that immensely. Take care.

Dean Jones was Magnificent. Very Underrated Star. RIP

[@user-ls5bn4wv4y]

RIP Legend, Proud to say I lived in the same time as he did.

[@joeb4614]

A revolutionary musical if there ever was one.

[@that1theatreguy]

rip sondheim ill forever be amazed and enchanted by his work.

[@dianaaljadeff2983]

Rip genial Stephen Sondheim. Patti Lupone and the original Company 1969 cast with Dean Jones.Sondheim.lived the see the female Company version

[@fadhilramadhani1847]

And Patti is in her own revival of Company now!!!

[@auroraspiderwoman5886]

Small world, isn't it?

[@garyschwartz6738]

Until I saw the Pennebaker/Hegedus documentary of the Original Cast Recording I thought Dean Jones was just an actor in goofball Disney films. His performance of Being Alive is timeless & brilliant. The whole documentary is a meditation to the creative process. It is currently on KZbin. Not to be missed. Sondheim’s singular genius will be missed.

[@johnflynn9619]

Dean was Fabulous on stage. He should have won the Tony. But, left the production when it opened. Very Talented. RIP

[@reneastle8447]

@@johnflynn9619 Had he remained in the production, that would be brilliant.

Aurora, your Sondheim picks are top notch!

Can we see the entire concert,PLEASE!!!

The best!

[@inkyguy]

The description does not include anything about when and where this took place. According to the description of another KZbin video of this the performance (link below) it occurred on 23 January 1993 (so almost 23 years after it debuted on Broadway on 26 April 1970) in Long Beach, California. According to the description for that video the performance was repeated the following April in New York City. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmWsl5-Mmcpkf9U

RIP to a master

[@allyson--]

1:24 is when the scene & music happen

[@silentsmurf]

Is this the original choreography? I really like 2:56 and Bobby turning around the first time

[@chespirotadasbyjonatashola7156]

Aurora, I really need this complete musical. How do I get it? 😍

[@ashareeoo]

❤️❤️❤️

[@brianstein5032]

I consider myself extremely fortunate to have seen Company with the original cast, although I did not see Dean Jones as Bobby because he left the show early and I think walked away from a career in show business. What a pity - he had a really nice persona. I regret I probably will not see the new production on Broadway now. I would see anything directed by Marianne Elliott, including a reading of the telephone book. Think of her credits: War Horse, Curious Dog, and the magnificent Angels in America with Andrew Garfield giving the most gut-wrenching performance I think I have ever seen on a stage, including Stephen Spinella who sent me out of the theatre after the second part of Angels and straight to a bar to calm me down.

[@okcomputer1800]

Consider yourself lucky, Larry Kert's Bobby was vastly superior.

[@potroastpig]

Did they do the entire show that night? Or just the opening number? That was incredible to watch the OG cast perform it

[@auroraspiderwoman5886]

Here's the second-act opening from the same NY performance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHiwaGZ-itGcgpY . And here are excerpts from the first reunion concert, earlier the same year, in CA.: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmWsl5-Mmcpkf9U

[@ericholck3914]

I saw the first reunion concert in CA. They did a concert version of the entire show, somewhat akin to what was done for "Follies" in 1985 (though slightly less staged, as I remember it). It was generally excellent, and the voices had held up well... though Stritch flubbed "Ladies Who Lunch" noticeably.

[@Loganjlr]

@@auroraspiderwoman5886is there anyone who possesses the full show in this same quality?

[@CnHPureCaneSugar1]

The did the entire show

[@Dianaemanuel]

I would love to see how this number was staged in the original production. Apparently it was quite something to see.

[@keithcurran923]

WHERES THE REST OF IT?

[@JorgeAl]

This is Dean Jones?

[@cathysmith997]

The transcript isn't an actual transcript. Bummer.
