I saw both and loved both, and plan to see both again several times, but as a 20-year-old I found myself able to relate to Spring Awakening much more than to Company. Part of it was the great, great modern music and the thrill of seeing people my age onstage being professionals and doing what they do well. I loved Company and appreciate it very much, and am sure I'll be able to better relate to it in about 10 years. That being said, I think (I think...I'll have to ponder it more) Company is a better show, for the caliber of Esparza's performance if not for the sake of Sondheim himself. I would say if you're a wee one, go for Spring Awakening, but it all depends on your personal aesthetic.
(Wow, I used the terms "wee one" and "aesthetic" in the same sentence. Mildly hilarious.)
