I did not like this revival very much, but I was happy to see Follies staged professionally for the first time in my life. I remember this number very fondly, and also the stage-hands vacuuming all that glitter during the intermission.

@boynamedalexxx "Plotless" and "bookless" are two different things. jjarndyc claimed that Company had almost no book, and what I said was that Company is almost all book. Everything happens in the scenes, and the songs are used as commentary, for the most part. So, while there's no discernible plot, there are still a lot of brilliant book scenes, so the assertion that Company is nearly bookless is absurd.

@DannyHiggs Sondheim himself calls "Company" largely plotless.

"That woman, that's joking but choking back tears" is my favorite lyric of all time.

The glitter absolutely killed me.

@DannyHiggs This was the highlight of the god-awful revival.

Ya know, for all those who said the show was terrible, listen to that applause. This number is about halfway through Act I and an audience that thinks a show sucks doesn't roar like that!

@jjarndyce Company is nearly bookless??? Company has brilliant scenes by George Furth with musical numbers that pop in occasionally to comment on the action. All of the action of Company takes place in the book scenes. And I'd say that A Little Night Music, Sunday in the Park, Passion and Assassins have near perfect books, all with a good deal of dialogue. The man himself is always quick to acknowledge the contributions of his collaborators.

@jjarndyce I see new interesting things here! It naturally will evolve to suit different times and economkes.

I know I'm in the minority, but this number thrilled me when I saw it live and it thrills me still. There were a few stellar performances in that revival, and Carole Woods was one of them.

On the positive side, how wonderful that Stella has a great voice, as opposed to most of the other revivals. But the genius of the original was restraint and taste in spite of all its opulence. The original choreography never got cheesy, and their youthful ghosts never upstaged the older women. In this production, I didn't believe that the characters were once professional dancers. Moved like frumps. Thanks so much in any case. Still a breathtaking number in spite of the hatchet job.
