As much as I LOVE Sondheim I've never gotten around to Company. So I thought about going to Company but I saw some press reels and I wasn't impressed. So should I go see it?

YES

That stage feels pretty small though. Did that not affect anything?

Posted: 12/3/06 at 10:13pm

Oh god. I'm usually the last person to care about this, but you have to know by now that there IS a search function.

gadzooks, theres only been 37 threads that are 12 hundred pages each debating the pros & cons of this production & you want us to boil it down to "good" or "not"?

Here are a bunch of threads generated by a search done earlier today. I took them from another thread:

I don't really know you well enough to know what your tastes are, but see it if you can. Give it a chance. I think my (very high) opinion of the show is obvious if you like, have eyes. I think it's pretty damned good.

You won't want to have missed it when it's gone, because things like it don't come around too often.

Sorry. I'm lazy and I didn't feel like searching lol.

I'm still kicking myself for missing Sweeney (Thank God for completly legal dvds )

Posted: 12/3/06 at 10:38pm

& you say you "LOVE" Sondheim?

Posted: 12/3/06 at 10:39pm

"I'm lazy and I didn't feel like searching lol" isn't exactly an excuse for stupidity. I couldn't care less that there's another thread on Company; I just cannot understand how you expect people to distill pages upon pages of opinion to yes and no answers. Go read the threads. You might actually learn something about the production - a hell of a lot more than reading a bunch of "YES OF COURSE!" or "NO, OVERRATED" answers.

while it isnt up to the intellectual caliber of OHMIGOD YOU GUYS, its still worth seeing.

Posted: 12/3/06 at 10:41pm

Let's just say Company is overrated and leave it at that.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 12/3/06 at 10:42pm

If I sing "OHMIGOD You Guys," do you think that'll help him decide?

(Also, can I say that it hurts my intellect to think that a show like that and Company must coexist? I'm sorry, but... yikes.)

yes, & trade in all the black wardrobe for pinks.

Hey, Esparza looks good in pink. I'll take it.

siamese dream - So I'm stupid for not wanting to use the search?

and you are really one to be talking about being stupid. You like High Fidelity

Posted: 12/3/06 at 10:51pm

Yes, I think it's quite stupid to essentially ask for yes or no answers on something that has been discussed and dissected for pages upon pages.

And other than the fact that I don't believe the shows one enjoys accurately reflects on one's intelligence, I could say the same thing about you and Nathan Lane. Please.
