Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I have been listening to the various recordings of Company lately and recently rewatched the DVD. I've just watched the interviews (great material for those who haven't seen it) and Raúl mentions this (Company) being his third Sondheim show. Does anyone know what the others were? I tried searching and couldn't find anything, unless Sondheim wrote Chitty Chitty without my knowledge.

I think he did Sunday in the Park and Merrily in DC. I'm sure there's a higher Raul authority that can further elaborate/correct me.

He had previously been in the Kennedy Center productions of MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG (as Charlie) and SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE (as Georges).

There are clips on That Site of Raul singing 'Finishing the Hat' and 'Franklin Shepard, Inc.' from both those productions.
