But.. I did want to see the Philharmonic production which would've had the original amazing orchestrations, and most likely would've included TICK TOCK - with a wonderful Broadway triple threat.
The only reason Tick Tock was included in Company in the first place was to show off Donna McKechnie's skills. There's no reason why it HAS to be in Company, it does nothing to progress the plot. The only thing I can really imagine it doing for a production is making Kathy's role bigger.
On the other hand, this is the first production in awhile to use Marry Me A Little, so I think it's a tradeoff for the best.
I mean, I wouldn't kick him off of my grand piano.
Thank you. He does look really good in that suit.
I want to be excited, but I don't want to jinx it. *bites nails anxiously, waiting for more news*

I'm getting excited, even though I still don't fully agree with taking it off of the thrust stage. I mean, how can I NOT be psyched? I just don't want to be let down if it doesn't happen.

Yes, Orange.
TICK TOCK was obviously for the amazing Donna. It doesn't really do all that much for the plot. Kathy just dances in place of showing Bobby and April having sex.
Also it is some fantastic orchestrations.
Charlotte d'Amboise also danced TICK TOCK.
I also think it adds more depth to Kathy. And it adds some more juice to act 2.
The first revival had both TICK TOCK and MARRY ME A LITTLE. So I think the only reason TICK TOCK is cut nowadays, because it saves them from having to cast an amazing triple threat in the role of Kathy.

Wait. I am so confused.
And this is potentially stupid, but why isn't the dance sequence Bobby and April, if they're having sex? On the CD, you hear them talking, so I think I just assumed that's what it was.
So. Perplexed.

With "Tick Tock" included, wouldn't the actress playing Kathy technically have to be a quadruple threat? It's probably good that Doyle's productions aren't heavy on the dancing-- that's too much to ask of anyone in addition to acting, singing and playing multiple musical instruments. That's not even considering whether it would work in this production.

Careful, Em. Combine all of Riedel's news and what do you get- a Tony standoff between Esparza and a certain Really Big Star. (Who, in fact, would probably be the best choice for "stunt casting" Bobby if they decided to go that way.) That would be a helluva race, in any case.

Well on the OBC liner notes, it says Kathy dances in lieu of seeing Bobby and April having sex.
I wish I could see how was it staged, and I really want to know what the choreography was like.

Plum, then we'd really have to break out the foam swords.
Really Big Star already has his Tony.
I saw an excerpt from some version of the script (whichever is published) and there are stage directions for Bobby and April going to bed and starting to make love, which I guess is in addition to the Tick Tock sequence. hmmm.

Yep, I'm just saying it's a bit soon to be making assumptions on any side.
(I have a friend who adores both of them- I think I might have to counsel him through this if it happens. :P)

Hee.
Here's how I'll think of it- I've seen great productions of 2 of my 5 all-time Sondheim favorites. This will be number 3. Well, if it happens.

sweetestsiren, I thought the same thing about Kathy. Singing, acting, dancing AND playing an instrument is excessive. Even Donna McKechnie and Charlotte d'Amboise probably couldn't handle that.
I've mentioned this before, but if it does open next season, it will be up against A Chorus Line for best revival. And I'm sorry, not even casting Raul as Bobby and Adam Pascal as Peter to discuss their homosexual experiences together would make me pick Company over ACL.
