Original Cast Album: Company (1970)

Screening as part of our Audio/Visual series in our Lounge with 7.1 surround. This summer we are featuring offbeat, fan favorite, art house musicals. In 1970, right after the triumphant premiere of Stephen Sondheim’s groundbreaking concept musical Company, the renowned composer and lyricist, his director Harold Prince, the show’s stars, and a large pit orchestra all went into a Manhattan recording studio as part of a time-honored Broadway tradition: the making of the original cast album. What ensued was a marathon session in which, with the pressures of posterity and the coolly exacting Sondheim’s perfectionism hanging over them, all involved pushed themselves to the limit.DocumentaryPT53MPG2025-06-28
