I'm sure I'm late to the game, but Hulu recently added COMPANY in the Movies section.

I'm only through the first act, but I'm really impressed with Neil Patrick Harris. People were saying they were underwhelmed, but he's a pretty effective Bobby so far.

I loved it. I went to the screening twice and I was so excited to get it on dvd. I think it's an almost perfect production.

I thought it sucked. The show was written for everyone to play their own instruments and in this they had an orchestra. I just thought it was really disrespectful to the creators of the show to change it like that.

I know what you mean. Also, they kept looking at each other! And they acted like they more or less liked each other! You never got the feeling that someone was going to get strangled!

I'm surprised Sondheim didn't have an 8 year old boy playing Bobby since he's so fond of that now.

Is this the one that was set in an asylum, but was really all taking place in one minute in the mind of an inmate, Bobby?

No, this is the one where half the cast sings in a second language to represent the diversity of New York.

No, it all takes place in one minute in the mind of Bobby who tried to kill himself so they locked him up in a psych ward.

Seriously though, I really enjoyed this one.

I'm pretty sure it's told from the perspective of one of the stray droplets from Joanne's vodka stinger.

Does the droplet have an unrequited love song about Paul's cufflinks, mentioning how the dripping sweat and condensation at the club makes the ground shine like silver?

And Alan Cumming plays all the roles, right?

I'm gonna leave the humor to the masters (thanks for the laugh, guys) and say thanks for sharing. I didn't get to see this when it was in theatres and really wanted to, so I'm really happy it's on hulu.

No, Raul plays all the roles, naturally. With a special bonus performance as Neil Patrick Harris.
