Amazon.com - Ordered 07.01.1999 - Shipped 07.08.1999 - Received 07/19/1999 Company opened April 26, 1970 at the Alvin Theatre in New York and ran 690 performances. The booklet contains 6 pages of text by Marc Kirkeby about the show, including a synopsis. Along the text, there are B&W pictures of the main performers (7 medium sized and one big on the back cover, with SS himself). I live this recording very much. It is lighter than Sweeney Todd, less fantastic than Into The Woods, less lyrical than A Little Night Music. But at the same time it contains a part of all these qualities. It's a real pleasure to listen at it. The remastered sound quality is actually very good. The excellent The Little Things You Do Together is really A Little Night Music-like. Someone Is Waiting is very Sweeney Todd like (making think about Johanna quite a lot...). I also love Getting Married Today, which is one of those fabulous multi-singers songs that only Sondheim writes so well. Really a must have item.
