This weekend there are cinema screenings of Stephen Sondheim's 'Company', a concert staging of the musical about a mid 30s man unable to settle on a relationship whose coupled friends urge him to settle down all the time demonstrating by their own behaviour the hazards and uncertainties of maintaining a relationship.
This is a terrific performance for lovers of Sondheim's work and musical theatre and should not be missed. Filmed at New York's Lincoln Center with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. Neil Patrick Harris, Patti LuPone and Martha Plimpton shine in an outstanding ensemble.
I heard a mention of it a couple of days ago, the cinema screening in London, and also a live hook up of a performance. The description of the audience was quite amusing. http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/podcasts/Frank-Skinner-on-Absolute-Radio/2012-03-20/ Download it and go to 23 mins 20 secs.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrew, that's an interesting program. By the way, neither of us wore pastel coloured jumpers to the screening.
