COMPANY To Close On July 31, 2022 — Page 7

I don't disagree with wanting this production to play longer, but as a lifelong Sondheim devotee, I've adjusted my expectations of what qualifies as a successful commercial run for his shows.

While they still may not make money, I'm thrilled whenever we get a year-long run of a quality Sondheim production.

I remember seeing the Cerveris/LuPone Sweeney production multiple times during its 350+ performances run and was giddy about being able to do so.

I LOVE Katrina in the show, but they probably needed to star cast the lead role. I think theater people were super thrilled and excited about this but it didn't grab the attention of the tourists and the normies.

I think a Groban Sweeney would do amazing. He's a name, the show is a name, and it's big with the theater people too.

So Jeff Kready is taking over as David for the rest of the run? What happened to Fitzgerald?

No, for three weeks (through the 24th). Fitzgerald will be back the last week of the run. Kready announced it last week:

Company's Facebook page advertised Jeff playing David today which is how I noticed it.

Should also mention that I really enjoyed Bobby Conte this time around. His singing voice is sensational.

And he is great in the role! I was unfamiliar with him but he really impressed me!

So the question is - will theatergoers try to get tickets to see the last performance of 'Company' or will they be more interested in Beanie's last performance in 'Funny Girl' on this same day ?

Well, the final performance of Company has been practically sold out since soon after they announced, and Beanie's final performance is barely sold. There's no way in hell that anyone who already has tickets for Company will bail to see Funny Girl instead. It's not a Sophie's Choice.

I wasn't referring to anyone who already bought a ticket to 'Company', I was referring to those who are making a decision and have the choice to see either one. There are still tickets left for 'Company' from what I can see on the ticket site. So choices are still available.

There are 30 seats left for Company's final show and hundreds left for Funny Girl. I doubt that the people who haven't already bought for Company and end up spending $299-329 for it even have Beanie's last show on their radar, so it really won't be a choice between just those two shows. The question is kind of pointless.

If the question is "kind of pointless", why waste your time in answering - twice ?"

Probably because your response indicated that you misunderstood their response to you the first time.

Just wanted to echo the love for Bobby Conte. Sometime between my first viewing in Jan and my second viewing in June, his number turned into a showstopper. That song is actually what annoys me most about not getting a cast album -- the 2018 London version of that song is just eh.
