Original Cast Album: Company
The musical "Company," written by Stephen Sondheim, made its debut on Broadway in the spring of1970. According to long-standing custom, the cast recording takes place on the first Sunday after the show's opening night. D.A. Pennebaker, who is today considered to be a great documentarian, videotaped the development of the original cast recording. He captured the back and forth between Stephen Sondheim and the actors, as well as the dynamic of attempting to record live performance. The performance of "The Ladies Who Lunch" by Elaine Stritch serves as the culmination of the movie. The production was nominated for six Tony Awards and took home three of them, including "Best Musical." It also played on Broadway for a total of two years. The "Original Cast Album" film series that had been planned but never made never happened.
