Matt Doyle’s performance in COMPANY is one of the most hilarious performances I’ve ever seen on a Broadway stage! He NEEDS to win a Tony this year!

@emmalongsjo6917 2 года назад

I’m so so glad he just did

@marthasilva7720 2 года назад

He just did🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏

@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343 Год назад

Probably Top 5 performances I've ever seen on Broadway. He stole the show. Both times I went, the guy got more applause than Patti. That's how good he was.

l love Tony Award winner Matt Doyle & am thrilled he's finally getting the recognition he deserves!!!

@WillScarlet16 Год назад

This version made me understand the attempted proposal from Bobby in a way I never did before - Bobby is asking Amy/Jamie for a marriage based on convenience instead of actual love, because Bobby doesn't understand the difference yet, but Amy/Jamie does. Adding the subtext of asking a gay man to have a convenient straight marriage made me understand that. And it's true whatever gender Amy/Jamie is played as.

Ok but are they going to release a soundtrack for this Broadway version? I really want it!!!!

@@randyseay4855 Actually, “Cast Recording” & “Soundtrack” are both acceptable & valid references. So, you really don’t have to be such an ass to people asking a LEGITIMATE QUESTION!

The British version of the same production beat it to the punch

Matt Doyle was awesome. I never listened to Company before. If I did, my Spotify was probably playing random songs, and I didn't notice. Shame on me. I did, however, watch that Documentary Now episode of Co-Op that has a song influenced by Getting Married Today. When Matt was singing this song, I was just enjoying every moment of it, but I could also hear Alex Brightman's character singing about blowing a rail and shitting his pants. Still an awesome experience.

Oh, this is perfect. Thank you

Actually, a number of lines have been changed. For example, "when I'm only being nice" was originally "like Eliza on the ice."

Patti LuPone is a true actress, she has that absolute tabula rasa of a face, so you could paint basically any character on it. And I live her Joanne.

@MissPerriwinkle Год назад

awesome !!!!

@callatait5607 Год назад

I'll say it until I die, we could do so much with theatre if we were more flexible with gendered casting. It would open up so many casting possibilities, and add so many nuances for certain characters with a queer or genderbent element.

@MrJimmy1953 2 года назад

The genius of Sondheim.

@muzyqman 4 месяца назад

This is a brilliant performance. But in truth, there were multiple changes of lyrics from the original version.

with enough talent, stories can be told and characters can be played by anyone of any gender, race, or background. he said himself the script hardly changed and it shouldn't! its the same story

I saw the show in New York. I wasn't a fan of gender bending Bobby at the time. In retrospect the show did hold up.

@natefame 2 года назад

All due respect to Matt Doyle, but calling Not getting married the most challenging song in musical theater history is really presumptuous. What about And I’m Telling You, glitter and be gay, defying gravity…etc etc

@MrDmcty1 Год назад

I think lyrically it is one of the most challenging songs in MT history, And I am telling you Stamina wise, glitter and be gay vocally, and defying gravity vocally but as a belt.

@jnkenoyer 2 года назад

Little behind the times. There's not much need to change this classic. How about writing something new that fits what is going on today? Or better yet, Amy should have been a trans woman.

@davidjeffreys6646 2 года назад

I guess we'll never get past this kind of stereotype

@steventharp 2 года назад

What stereotype would that be? Gay men afraid of marriage? People afraid of marriage? Nervous gays? No, we probably won't, lol.

Well, first they ruined “On A Clear Day You Can See Forever”, and now “Company”! NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE GAY! Sincerely, A GAY MAN DISGUSTED OVER THIS KIND OF CRAP!
