Podcasts about stephen sondheim's company

Justin Guarini has acted and sang all over the world. One of his most cherished performances was as Bobby in Stephen Sondheim's Company, at the Bucks County Playhouse. He discusses that show, theatre in general, and reveals the advice he'd give to young actors.

Ian and Kaleigh discuss Stephen Sondheim's "Company". They analyze the music, the idea of the concept musical, and the different iterations this show has undergone, including the new gender-swapped West End version.

What's new, pussycats? This week we're taking a break from our regularly scheduled programming to talk about "Documentary Now's" episode about the recording of a musical cast album, "Co-op: The Musical." Written by John Mulaney and Seth Meyers, the episode is a loving yet biting sendup of the making of Stephen Sondheim's "Company" cast album in 1970 and shows us the ups and downs of one grueling overnight recording session, with Mulaney as silently demanding genius-savant composer Simon Sawyer (ring any bells?).  Episode: Amazon Video  Cast recording: YouTube   Show Notes: More about Stephen Sondheim's iconic take on "Co-op" and its music. Here's him master-classing and also shading students doing "Getting Married Today."   Probably the crown jewel of John Mulaney's standup repertoire, which is saying something: The Salt and Pepper Diner. OK, fine, here's another one: The One Thing You Can't Replace. John Mulaney also wrote all the sketches of Stefon, the gay, Ed Hardy-wearing event correspondent who's in love with Seth Meyers.

It happened: we finally quit the podcast and went on a walkabout. Everything became far too much and we decided that we need to reach back into musical theatre history to see a production of Broadway legend Stephen Sondheim's Company.In this episode, we talk about the accuracy of recollections, the importance of a gendered perspective, the fallibility of memory, Mel and Sue vs Patti LuPone and the accessibility of theatre in a general sense.IT'S LONDON, BABY.Follow You Know What I Like...? on Twitter (@YKWILPodcast)Like You Know What I Like...? on FacebookMusic: http://www.purple-planet.comCover Art: Andrew Losq

Marianne Elliott is the first woman to win two Tony awards for theatre direction: the first for War Horse and the second for The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time. Both transferred to Broadway from the National Theatre, London, and have gone on to travel the world. Marianne's parents, grandparents and great-grandparents all worked in the theatre. Her father, Michael Elliott, was a founding director of the Royal Exchange theatre in Manchester and her mother, Rosalind Knight, now in her 80s, has enjoyed a lifetime on the stage and is still working. Although Marianne read Drama at Hull University, it wasn't until she was in her late 20s that her career began, when she became assistant director at the Regents Park Open Air Theatre. She went on to follow in her father's footsteps, working at the Royal Exchange, before becoming Associate Director at the National Theatre in London. In 2017 she left to set up her own theatre company with producer Chris Harper. Their next show will be Stephen Sondheim's Company. In addition to all her theatrical prizes, she has just been awarded the OBE for services to theatre in the 2018 Birthday Honours list. She is married to actor Nick Sidi and they have one daughter.
