I have only seen three productions of Company, the first a college production. Back in 1977; the second a community theatre production in the mid 80's; the third the filmed version of the NPH company. None of them were entirely satisfactory but I fell in love with the music in 77 and listened to the obc over and over

Wow! In the There are still great kids out there department. I was sitting here thinking about doing the driveway and walk (truthfully, I don't mind doing it) when three teenagers knocked on my door and said they would shovel my walk and driveway for 5 dollars a piece. Seriously, $5 to shovel isn't very much. That's hard work. I was so impressed that they are out in the cold and the wind helping people and actually working with a smile to make a little money, that I gave them $10 each.(still not much but it only took them about 15 minutes and I let them use my snowblower for the driveway) It isn't perfect, but the wind is still blowing so I'll touch it up later when the wind dies. They were surprised I gave them more than they asked for. They restored my faith in teenagers a little, it was worth it.

And you probably restored their faith in fair grown ups!

Nice day so far. Nothing here yet. They're still saying 8 PM or so for my area.

Everyone should post their thoughts on Company and the productions they've seen.

I've seen a few regional or community productions that were each good in some respect or other, but I'm sorry to say the only professional one I've seen (live, not counting televised moments of others) is the Roundabout. And that was SO disappointing, if only for the musical reasons alone. At the time, I'd been studying and practicing it pretty intently because I was playing a community production -- on piano -- solo -- even including Tick Tock (there might actually exist some audio evidence of that audacious experiment, but I make no promises). So when I heard that synth-y band start playing, my heart sank. And yes, I knew going in that it was a new orchestration.

BTW, I think they did include Tick Tock in the production, but they cut it that day! I forget the reason.

Trying to rearrange one of our two dress rehearsals to happen during the day because one of our gals suddenly has a conflict - I just don't get it, but that's Waiver theater for you.

And now, I'm off to a friend's house for a Superbowl party. I'm bringing some chips and dip (salsa con queso melted and mixed with chili con carne without beans), and some diet Pepsi. I was also asked to bring some ice, so I'll have to get that on my way.

I saw the national company of COMPANY with Julie Wilson, Gary Krawford, and Louisa Flaningam. it was quite wonderful. The second prduction I saw as at Wright state University n Dayton, OH,around 1977 because an actor with whom I'd worked in dnner theatre was in the cast. His name was Kip Rookstool, and he moved to New York as soon as he graduated. When I got to Manhattan, I called him and we planned to meet for coffee, which never happened. About a year later I was on the subway platform reading one of the papers. Kip was visiting his boyfriend when the super sent a couple of killers to get rid of an irksome tenant. They were both murdered. A houseguest escaped to get the police and identify the killers. Such a loss.

I've never seen Company live, just the recording of the Broadway production a few years ago

I explored the "below lobby" level of the hotel, where I found a snack bar where I bought lunch to bring back to my room. I also found that there were lots of ALA sessions scheduled in the various meeting rooms, but nothing that interested me. I sat watching the lake effect snow blow in along the Chicago River and posted a picture of it on Facebook. Came back up to the club lounge for a cappuccino and sat there and knit for a while. By the time I got back my room had been cleaned, so I ate my lunch and took a nap. Watching Super Bowl chit-chat and checking Twitter and Facebook for news from the conference.
