I agree, Chrys! I agree!

Company of all shows! I think he's trying to kill me.

I'm not missing this. I adore John Doyle's work. My question is, is this gonna be like Sweeney? If so, what instrument is Raul gonna play?

Oh, I am so there. I wouldn't miss this for the world. I guess I know what I'm doing this year for Spring Break!

I doubt it'll be set in a madhouse, like Sweeney, but the instrument/actor concept should be similar.

Oooh! This looks so exciting!

This should be awesome. I saw Raúl in Caberet and he was great. I would like to see in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang but I am not sure if I will get the chance. He is an amazing singer and actor.

I had just about convinced myself that Cincinnati is too far to go just to see Company, but now I think I'll have to go.

YESS!!!!

FINALLY living in Ohio payed off...

except for the fact that living in Cleveland makes Cincinatti 5 hours away...

Ah well, totally worth the drive for Raul! and Company!

I am so excited about Company in this format. It seems to fit the show very, very well.

Someone go visit Emcee...I think she may have imploded. This may be the reason for her lack of posting in this thread.

I love how the dates are so perfect: it opens right after my birthday (hello present!) and during my spring break! I'm there!

Well I can't say for sure, but I think she's been in class since this thread was started and either has not read the news or had a chance to process it.

*squeezes hand* Em, I'm here for you. Just remember the amazing experiences we have living in NY and the people we get to interact with and...Julia's still here??

Raul will make a terrific Robert.

I really wonder if John Doyle is going to do this with every Sondheim show ever.

If he does, good for us singing actors who play instruments! :)

Am I crazy for saying that I think this casting is VERY strange? I don't see Raul as Bobby in the least bit.
