Oh and the character singing was way off and the guys singing the chorus section was as horrendous as bobby's view of having someone ALWAYS there... hehe see what i did there!
Good try guys but i honestly dont think the overall feeling of the musical cant really be captured by teens that haven't yet been able to experence the of torment and love that is relationships. i sooo wanted to do this but i know i just cant- as much as i relate with bobby so far in life, i just dont have the underlying "thing" that makes it just that much better... i just don't see it with bobby... though if my HS ever did Company- you bet i would still be gunning for the role of bobby!
Im a senior in high school and while i applaud the show being done by such a young cast i do think they're treating the script too much like regular musical theater fare. George Furth meant all of these scenes to be in a play, the pacing is obviously maneuvered by a person who did not know the show well enough. I'm not blaming the kids.
First - your profile says that you're 22-years-old... and you're in HIGH SCHOOL???
Second - This school hired a professional "fight & combat choreographer" to work this scene, so of course, you're MUST have been much better. Wow, a REAL flip. That certainly will make or break a Sondheim show.
hehe, I just noticed you replaced jesus christ is it fun with boy oh boy. :P I always found it strange that people found it offensive when I said Jesus Christ in America.
I'm sure, I was just saying that at my secondary school (high school) in England, the only word that would've even have been considered for cutting would have been falls to shit.

I'll forward your comment to the director. He will take your valuable insight to heart and try oh-so-much harder in future productions.

Well first off, I'm 18 and just graduated.
Secondly, we hired a professional stuntman, who did stunts for "Dark Knight"- so it WAS better.

@leojrevlis if you hired a professional combat choreographer...you wasted your money, lol.

"Goddamn" also became "damn" in some dialog.
In Steel Pier "falls to shit" became "falls apart, and "milking the foreman" was "entertaining the foreman." Hey - it's high school!!!

Then I guess [in Company] when April says, "You shit-head!" you [like us] would have changed it to "You bastard!"
Tee-hee...
Thanks for you comments.. ;-}
