| Written by [John] Mulaney and Seth Meyers, “[Original Cast Album:] Co-op” features the cast of a failed musical set in a New York apartment building, who gather for a recording session even as the show’s closing is being announced. Mr. Mulaney, in turtleneck and mutton chops, plays a composer strongly resembling Mr. Sondheim; Paula Pell, a veteran writer for “Saturday Night Live,” struggles like Ms. Stritch; the Broadway performers Renée Elise Goldsberry (“Hamilton”) and Alex Brightman (“School of Rock”) belt the showstopper “Holiday Party” a.k.a. “A Little Cocaine Tonight.” NYT has an article (including Sondheim comments): |

| I went to a screening last week that showed them back to back – original followed by parody – and I highly recommend watching them this way if you have the time. What makes the Documentary Now episode so great is not the song parodies (some of those lyrics are cringeworthy) but the ways in which it captures the nuances and textures of Pennebaker's original. (Additionally, it has at least one nod to Best Worst Thing That Ever Could Have Happened.) | |

| I’ve seen a few and don’t really get it. Sandy passage was great because I saw Grey gardens documentary. But last weeks about some cult in a small town didn’t make a lot of sense to me. | |

| Good reason to watch the original again. (And I was surprised no one mention the lyrics in the song Richard Kind sang on late night awhile back.) |
