I love "Company". I saw the original production eleven times on Broadway and each performance was as exciting as the one before it. So I was very excited when I saw this DVD. Of course I knew it would be different from the original, but just how different? Well this is a very tame version of the show-sort of a G rated version of an original R rating. All of the bite, sarcasm and yes the New York wit and feel of the show have been removed.The performances are good enough, but no one ever seems to really sink their teeth into the roles. I would recommend it to someone who has never seen the show but anyone who is hoping for anything near the caliber of the original should skip it. Oh why didn't we tape shows in the 70's?
