It retails for $89.99.

I'm awaiting the DVD too but, it's going to be some time before it's released. They probably haven't even started editing all the footage yet. Just be patient, and when official word comes out, or someone leaks the info, you'll hear about it.

BrodyFosse123 and Stacey are working double time to meet demand. Brody has yet to complete the documentary that was promised, but I understand that the deleted scenes will be on the disc as promised.

Nope...the documentary is still going on. This weekend we're interviewing Donna McKechnie and Pamela Myers, which are the last 2 from the original 1970 Broadway production we had not interviewed yet.

Tomorrow morning Raul and Stephen Sondheim are recording their duo audio commentary; the audio commentary with the entire cast was finished about 2 hours ago and is being mixed as I write this.

The 'deleted' scenes aren't actually deleted scenes but footage of the 2 performances as seen from backstage, etc. Somewhat of an 'outtakes' reel, but not really.

That's it for an update.

If all goes the same as other PBS productions , the DVD wont be released until after it airs on PBS next year
The last production I remember was the Carnegie Hall Concert Version of South Pacific with Brian Stokes Mitchell and Reba McIntyre
The CD came out and then the PBS showing and then afterwards came the DVD
So maybe next Spring if we are all lucky I would say

I don't really care how long it takes them to release it as long as they do it at some point. I'm just happy that they recorded it.

That's exactly my sentiment.

Not to rain on the parade, folks, but I honestly wonder if you'll feel the same way five years from now -- or if you'll then see it the way I did: tantamount to a play about a rehearsal for a marching band made up of Wall Street brokers.

Great to hear it was recorded!!!!

I just received an email from BrodyFosse123. Due to the demand for Grey Gardens bootlegs, the dvd release of Company has been shelved indefinitely. Brody and Stacey regret this turn of events and have vowed not to post on this board again until the Company has been released. Thank you, Brody!

Kringas, relax. Stacey is trying to locate an adequate sized mastering facility that'll suit our needs.

Production hasn't been haulted on ANYTHING, just temporarily suspended until further notice.

We expect to be back in full operation by the end of this week.

PS: as of 10:12am EST, Raul is already in our looping facility and we're just waiting for Sondheim to make it back with our Starbucks run so we can begin with the recording of their audio commentary for the DVD. It's being recorded in 'real time' as they watch the show -- there will be no stopping or editing of their comments.

Hahaha! Well, this is the best thread of my morning.

So there is no Elaine Stritch commentary? I heard a rumor they recorded her playing a drinking game with Barbara Walsh while watching the performance. Apparently, Walsh can't hold her liquor next to Stritch. But who can, really?
