@iamupforallfun Yeah - right!

Oh... and they look like penguins towards the end.

@BwayBaby1980 Geez - do you ever say anything nice? I've read all of your comments about these Company clips. Are you a seasoned Sondheim expert? Hmmm, you must be. After all, you ARE 15 years old, according to your profile stats.

better than Raul Esparza? please be quiet.

Well done, but like "Follies," an interesting choice for a high school group to do.

[robertobordino]

VERY GOOD.. 

[Unintelligentful]

Good singing, HATE the actions though.. and the awful choreography.

Not bad at all for a high School production; nailing all those counter melodies, throughout these very modern chord changes is quite a challenge, but the full band entrance @ 1:17 and the transition @ 1:37 could have been a tad smoother.However I agree a bit w/ richardjduke's comment , in that you'll all do a better job at it once you're over 30 yrs old, and have ,well, experienced some of the themes of the musical in your own private lives.But keep it up and good luck!

For a high school production I'm pretty impressed. Sondheim's music is not easy to say the least and any high school that chooses a production by him is daring. Kudos to this cast!

I was expecting to be cringing and gasping in shock. For high school kids, it wasn't bad at all. Some of these kids might get to do it on Broadway someday. Cheers to them.

High school? Remarkably good! I heard phrases I've never heard before in all the years of all the professional productions I've seen and heard recordings of.

This is VERY well done. The choreography is nice, and good that its minimal. It makes sense without being there for the sake of having choreography. REALLY well done :)

I don't care how well they sing or how good the sets are or how they all hit their mark. It's not about how talented these kids are. This show is about adults, and not in the same way that "South Pacific" is about adults. These kids don't really know what this show is about. "Company" is perhaps the most important musical of the past 40 years, and it should be performed by adults. "Company" only really works when the performers actually know why they are singing what they are singing..
