Ugh, COMPANY, can't even sell half a small house.
Oh well, It is an awfully well written show.

But the Roundabout revival was better than this one.

Once again Curtain, we know. There is no need to post your dislike about the Company revival in every thread. It's getting tiresome.

Congrats to all the winners.

I think I have a right to my opinion when a show wins an award I disagree with.
And I always say it is just my opinion.

But we've all heard it 500 times already. It's redundant by now. Save your energy and come up with something new to hate.

This revival of COMPANY is fantastic, but it honestly doesn't move me, touch me, or make me laugh as much as the show usually does.

But still...you can't honestly say that the Roundabout revival was better than this!

Well, if the Roundabout product was so much better, why did they close after barely 100 performances (previews included) in a smaller house than the Barrymore?

Well, it's an awfully good thing awards aren't given based on ticket sales then, isn't it?

Someone's clearly taken his share of insolent-childlike pills tonight!

Anyway, congratulations to all of the winners, especially the Company revival, for its much-deserved recognition.

Because Sondheim and Ellis decided they wanted to take their integrity in choice of casting over the producers.
Read Sondheim's letter to the NY TIMES.

The Roundabout production was pretty much sold out every night.
Luv the... I take no pills, maybe I should.

Just an opinion: i'm perplexed by this love for Liev Shrieber's performance in Talk Radio. I didn't like it. But mine is, as often is the case, a minority opinion.

TommyTunesSon, I agree with you. I don't think it was a particularly bad performance in any way. I just don't think it was anything to write home about. The play itself is mediocre at best, and Schreiber sits in a chair and talks into a microphone in a monotone voice acting like a total pr!ck for the first 85 minutes. And then for the last 15 minutes, he begins to slowly break down and we're supposed to start to paint him as a human being. I just didn't buy it. His performance in MACBETH was even worse.

Curtain - while the ticket sales may be fading, COMPANY was chosen as best revival not by critics, or "Word of Mouth" types, or exclusively theater insiders, but by members of the Drama League, which is an open membership organization. So that people like ME voted for COMPANY and UTOPIA.
