And yes, since I’m one of the very few women on this board, I think I can be on the cross for a moment when it comes to defending some of the, again, ageist and sexist comments thatappear here,I think,without thought or consideration behind them."
Mmm that sounds like an idea if they need a replacement :p!!!!!!

And I (a 72-year-old guy) as well. I am not familiar enough with "Company" to know if your observations are accurate for this particular post. But for this board in general, you are absolutely SPOT ON.

Much as I'm not a fan of how Sondheim allows just about any change or reinterpretation of his musicals, or makes them himself, I think the combination of these two actresses makes this an exciting prospect. They're both talented and charismatic actresses who should bring a lot of interesting dynamics to this production. I disliked the John Doyle revival, which I found clumsy and lifeless, but this sounds exciting.

I adored the show with Craig and Bailey (and LuPone!) in London earlier this year. Really curious to see the changes.
The production in the West End had a lot of energy and I’m hoping that translates well here.

How exciting we will inevitably get another cast recording of this production! Do we think they will be lowering some keys for Lenk’s much sultrier voice?

I'm not sure it's inevitable. I was thinking they'd probably just sell the London cast recording at the merch booth.

I'm here to eat my words! ItsKatrina this is my official you were right post lol. Sorry for doubting.
I am SO excited for this. Such a historic production with such an incredible cast, also, with a chance to see Patti perform ladies who lunch live is just ugh. They can take all of my money.

Thanks! I set a reminder for 10/3. So excited. I wonder if opening night will be on sale. I doubt it though...

Posted: 8/30/19 at 11:58amNot sure who he will be playing, but I’ve heard that Christopher Sieber will be in this production as well.

Man, y'all bugging. Say your thoughts on the show (good or bad), and keep it moving. The petty fights on every post are draining - This ain't the Bad Girls Club.

Can we please stop fighting! This is an exciting day.
I can definitely see Sieber as Pattis husband, especially as the role was cast much younger than her in London.

Christopher Sieber would be great as Peter (the one who's possibly gay in the original script).
Secreting this into existence: BOYD GAINES FOR LARRY.
COMPANY#619
Posted: 8/30/19 at 12:33pmLarry is kind of a thankless part, plus it makes sense that Joanne’s husbands keep getting younger. (And one reason she offers him to Bobbie is that they’re closer in age.) Could Sieber be Harry?

I mean, that’s about as perfect casting as you could ever get.

I agree - it is a thankless, almost ‘background’ role. I would say that he does the least by far.

i can’t imagine they’ll sell the cast recording with Rosalie’s face on it for the entire run. The only returning cast member is Patti. This is a much bigger deal than Roundabout’s Sunday that didn’t get re-recorded. A 50th anniversary production during Sondheim’s 90th Birthday with a new leading lady is definitely enough to re-record it.
