Apparently, no current plans for the acclaimed concert of Sondheim's COMPANY to come to home video release....

A Shame!

Ouch. That's sad. They should put it on YouTube.

That really does suck.
Does this mean it pretty much won't ever be released, or just not anytime soon?

I paid $20 a head to see it three times in the movie theater.

I think the Philharmonic OWES me a CD!

Isn't the film getting another showing in theaters in the near future? I would assume that no decision about a video release would be made until after that showing.

A spokesperson for the New York Philharmonic told Playbill.com, "At this point we don't know of any plans for a DVD of Company."

For many obvious reasons, no one involved with the New York Philharmonic would have any inside information IF a DVD release was happening (THEY didn't film it), so their statement clearly reflects this.

I know for a fact that it IS being released on DVD. As for when... that's still up in the air, unfortunately.

An intern at Playbill.com wants COMPANY on DVD so he calls the New York Philharmonic to ask about a DVD release... I mean, who ELSE could he call -- Neil Patrick Harris? Katie Finneran? Patti LuPone?. Some receptionist responds with that statement and it becomes official: COMPANY is NOT being released on DVD.

Geez, folks.

I could have sworn I'd heard there would be a release. Which is why I never saw it in the cinemas. Or the theater. Damn my life.

Brody is spot on. It's not for the Philharmonic to say if there is a DVD release as they didn't record it!
