"A first-rate Broadway show in itself"-The Washington Post

Called a "monumental achievement" by the Los Angeles Times, Original Cast Album: Company is the extraordinary documentary of the explosive recording session for Stephen Sondheim's Tony Award winning landmark musical.

On May 3, 1970, a few days after its triumphant Broadway opening, the cast of Company gathered to record the original cast album.Over the course of a grueling 18 1/2 hour session, acclaimed filmmaker DA Pennebaker, (Bob Dylan - Don't Look Back, The War Room, Moon Over Broadway) with Jim Desmond and Richard Leacock, captured the stress, the frustration, the exhilaration and ultimate success of the creative process.

From the jubilance of the opening number to Dean Jones' grumblings that he "can't spit let alone sing" to the high drama of Elaine Stritch's attempts to nail "The Ladies Who Lunch," Company is an electric mix of brilliant personalities and performances.
