ok kids, "Bobby" in COMPANY...gay or straight?
it sure would explain a lot and be marvelously interesting for gay composer Sondheim. I know Chris Sieber played more with latent homosexuality in the role when he recently played Bob.
What do y'all think?

Chris Sieber was marvelous. As his is the only performance I've seen, and because I knew he is gay, I felt the character was especially less interested in woman than I might have thought he should be.

But it seemed like he truly wanted to hit it off with a woman....but never did.

the Sondheim.com board "Finishing the Chat" has endless posts about this.

Really, he could go either way depending on the direction and performance. I believe he was originally written as being definitely gay, then changed to straight (or at least ambiguous) somewhere during the original creative process.
