...That’s the situation of Robert (Joshua C. Phillips ’07)—whose friends’ mantra when inviting him to dinner is “It’ll just be the three of us!—in the Stephen Sondheim musical “Company.” Directed by Jennifer L. Brown ’07, music-directed by Mark P. Musico ’07, and produced by Kara E. Kaufman ’08, the play tells the story of five couples, three ex-girlfriends and Robert...
...first act, takes its tonic cue from the 1936 Brown and Freed "Would You" that was introduced in San Francisco and reprised in Singin' in the Rain. The first few bars, and the whole mood, of Little Edie's lament "Daddy's Girl," are a direct lift from Sondheim's Follies song "In Buddy's Eyes." Little Edie's second-act fashion statement, "The Revolutionary Costume for Today," is another Sondheimlich maneuver (that's David Zippel's pun, for praise or blame, not mine); and Big Edie's "The Cake I Had" takes its repetitive phrase from West Side Story...

One clue directed players to a nearly deserted town near a lake. When they found the pertinent clue, a hand jutted out of the lake with instructions for the next leg of the game...
...musical productions in the Agassiz Theater (including the revolutionary classic “A Chorus Line”) and one musical in the Loeb Experimental Theater this semester. The show in the Ex, called “Company,” features music and lyrics by the venerable Stephen Sondheim of “West Side Story” fame.“Company” is a well-written show. Since Sondheim and his collaborator George Furth intentionally constructed an emotionally unavailable principal character, performing it can be a little risky. But regardless of the chances the directors...
Playing a barber might seem a tame choice for JOHNNY DEPP. But not when it's Sweeney Todd. Depp and director Tim Burton--who previously teamed up on Edward Scissorhands and last year's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory--are reuniting for a movie version of the Stephen Sondheim musical about the murderous London barber who shaves his clients a little too closely. Depp, who will do his own singing, popped by the Broadway revival earlier this year and chatted with Michael Cerveris, the Tony-nominated thesp who plays Sweeney. The part is grueling, Cerveris says, but "we know Johnny...
