The first time I watched Company is when I happen to come across a youtube video of Neil Patrick Harrison version of it and ever since I was obsessed.
Pretty much standard fare documentary about Sondheim and crew as they try to create the cast album for the original run of Company. You could see Sondheim's perfectionism, and the cast juggling recording - which seems to be an altogether different experience compared to stage. The film climaxes with Elaine Stritch having a hard time perfecting the famous 'The Ladies who Brunch' song under Sondheim critical direction.
Its very standard, and you do realize why it as a TV Show pilot but if your a fan of the show, its a must see experience to see how each of the original actors do it.
