It's nice to see a vigorous debate on this. I stand by my opinion - to my ear, the score doesn't have the vibrancy or the bite of much of the rest of the Sondheim canon. Perhaps on further viewings/listenings, it will grow on me. For many years I was never a big fan of his. Then I saw a wonderful production of "Sweeney Todd" at ACT and everything changed. "Company" is now one of my all-time favorite musicals.
Thanks to all who commented. |
