Stephen Sondheim believed in the power of love, and in the someone who makes us 'aware of being alive.' This director has other ideas.

Stephen Sondheim and George Furth’s “Company” is a most extraordinary 1970 musical, charting as it does the central character’s journey from a cynical attitude about relationships and marriage, birthed by watching too many crazy married people, to an awareness of the great Sondheim creed that life has no meaning without love. Or, to explain that central narrative journey through Sondheim lyrics, Bobby goes from singing “Marry me a little, love me just enough. Cry, but not too often.

And time and again, the themes explored remain on the surface, despite all the boxes, props and clever ideas on display. The show is consistently fascinating and often funny, but it is stone-cold with two distinguished exceptions. Britney Coleman as Bobbie and Jacob Dickey as Andy in the touring musical 'Company' in Chicago at the Cadillac Palace Theatre. Elliott attempts two radical ideas, neither of which really work.

‘The Holdovers’ review: Have a merry sweet-and-sour ‘70s Christmas with Paul Giamatti and companyI love how two movies opening this week, “The Holdovers” and “Priscilla,” begin with close-ups of products dear to their main characters. For Hunham, it's a 1970s tube of Preparation H.
