They are all soooo good, but that rendition of Another Hundred People was really touching. I hope they release a cast recording

Stefan

that performance gave me chills! was not expecting that

Michael Johnson

2y↑11

Yes the 3 other versions that I have seen have that song being sung rather cynically, and this one was definitely not.

Chocolate Souljah

This is the comment I was looking for. 💕

@Michael Johnson Agreed. The 21st century is beginning of interpretations in the same manner as one would expect of a Shakespeare production. Very exciting!

This is so nice, ever since Hadestown last year I wished NPR would do more Broadway. Thank you for this!

Alex S.

Imagine if we had a Falsettos Revival Tiny Desk Concert... Not sure when NPR began featuring Broadway but the group energy of this video made me ~yearn~

Jeff Holloway

You must have missed the Jagged Little Pill video from a few weeks ago.

So true

Check out the one from the bands visit!

Mike Lunney

Not gonna lie, I was like "this band is a little strange" for a minute.

Tiny Desk continues to come with cutting edge performances. BRAVO!

Kitteridge Simpson

“this band is very large. it is the side of a small broadway cast.”

Bobby made me cry singing Another Hundred People! beautiful story telling, love how vibrant this version of the show is

He was also excellent as Enjolras. Got me thinking about Beauty and the Beast UK Tour. I would like to see him play Gaston.

Oh, did you know that Grantaire was also PJ in the Company London Cast 2018? Now we've got an Enjolras and a Grantaire singing "Another Hundred People."

Shae 💕

2y↑1

Exactly what I’m thinking!! Absolutely obsessed with his take on the song and his voice

We are so, so lucky we had Sondheim as long as we did. This is one of the finest pieces of theatre I've ever seen- I'm so glad its' getting a new life.

When the whole room was endearingly staring at Katrina singing 'Someone is Waiting', I felt that

Oh, me, too! I remember feeling JUST like that, way before I even knew the musical.

I’ve been so so obsessed with the new arrangement of Drive a Person Crazy since the London debut… it still absolutely SLAPS. Iconic!

Theo Fields

2y↑5

Everybody pulled it off, I was not sure about how it would go and those guys ripped it to shreds, amazing

NEED a cast recording of this cast like.. yesterday

Miriam Van Harn

2y↑61

I especially need Matt Doyle's "Getting Married Today" in my ears... STAT

HierophantPurple

2y↑1

IKR!!

BeckyBarnesClimbedATree

2y↑3

I need to hear sorry-grateful ASAP

Rads ical

2y↑3

There’s not going to be one unfortunately. They had a deal that only the London run would get a cast recording. So this is all we get unfortunately

fern ll.

2y↑128

This is so fresh -- all the arrangement choices and interpretations of these pieces necessary for a female Bobby. :)

Jasmine Lew

2y↑255

It's so amazing when people can truly play within the madness that is sondehim music -- that's artistry!!

Aaron Huskyman

Robert Berardi

2y↑3

There's one song in the show with such a torrent of words it requires a Navy SEAL's ability to hold one's breath.

TheMissingLink

2y↑265

THEY SOUND GOOD! I don't know if this production has had revised choral arrangements - but there were some ensemble harmonies that were SO amazing. I swear I've never heard them before!

Maggie McFly

2y↑21

I think Stephen indeed revised it, there was an interview in the New York Times where he and the director of the play talked about it. Of course I can't fully read it because I don't have a subscription, jut there was an excerpt from it on IG

HierophantPurple

2y↑3

@Maggie McFly Yeah, iirc from reading that article he worked with Marianne Elliot on some of the changes made in the show, including the tweaks to the story and music.

Matt

2y↑3

Joel Fram, who also conducted the pit orchestra and was the musical director of this production, is credited with the new vocal arrangements! It might have also been in collaboration with David Cullen, who did the new instrumental orchestrations.

BrookeInProgress

2y↑51

Was very lucky to have seen this cast last week! Highly recommend, it’s one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. It was my boyfriend’s first ever Broadway experience and I’m afraid we’ve set the bar very high for all future shows.

Samantha L

2y↑4

Very very very much so lol I am 31 and had the blessing to seeing many shows many times. Rent, Les Mis 3 times, phantom 3 times & In the heights right after the Tony’s but I have never ever had the chance to see waitress. Love SB and the movie is one of my favorites would love to see it!!

Connie Soto

2y↑114

I have never heard of Bobby Conte, he caught my eye, amazingly talented!

Miriam Van Harn

2y↑20

he led the cast of A Bronx Tale in 2017! amazing acting and vocals in that show :)

Ruthless Ruth

The rendition of another 100 people is literally EVERYTHING

punzie peached

2y↑46

you can hear the laughter in their harmonies. i’m in love

unwashed grapes

2y↑70

11:07 I love how he uses a unique inflection to express the same line for the grand ending repeating "another hundred people just got off of the train"

Charlie H. Ray

2y↑172

The way that this is not nearly long enough. Incredible

PeachesYancy

2y↑97

They sound AMAZING. Wish Patti was there. Happy first preview tonight!

billie227

I also miss Kyle. At least Manu Narayan filled in for him.

Sara

2y↑55

I have the biggest smile on my face with tears in my eyes. This was so beautiful and joyful. Thank you Tiny Desk. You, again, made my day!

Noah Warford

2y↑49

already in love with this production. i hope we get a broadway cast recording.

punzie peached

2y↑18

back yet again to say that my boyfriend got me tickets for february 10th. i PRAY covid doesn’t cancel it. i’m so excited to see this beautiful cast and especially to hear “another hundred people” live. it gives me chills

Shae 💕

2y↑2

I just saw the show on Sunday, and have never heard of Bobby Conte. What an incredible voice he has😭😭 it’s my favorite song from the show, along with not getting married today

mockingbirdies

2y↑32

i saw the company revival in 2007 when i was still in high school because i was just so enamored with sondheim's work. it's so interesting and fun returning to this show with new perspective - and a new but the same bobby/ie. this entire video sent a thrill up my spine. i would love to sit there and listen to them sing the entire show in this format.

Tommy Sepulveda

2y↑96

Bobby Conte Thornton is seriously so insanely talented and I need to see this dude perform before I die. Please cast this man as Sweeney Todd!!!

Jovan Olague

2y↑7

Love that kid! Known him since he was kid!

Shae 💕

2y↑2

His voice is incredible!!! After seeing the show live, I knew that I had to perform AHP at my Thestival for thespian club 💗💗

Christina L

2y↑20

This is by far my favorite version of Another Hundred People. It brings such a smile to my face that I've come back every day to listen again this week. 😁

As a McElroy fan can I just say:
IS THAT MATT DOYLE?!??

This cast is sk wonderful and there harmonies are just so smooth 💜💜

Mike Bibeault

2y↑7

This cast is dynamite! Saw them twice, going back for a third in a couple weeks! Another Hundred People and Being Alive gives me goosebumps. If you are having a bad day, go see this show, you will forget why you were having a bad day! BRAVO! Would I love to party with this great group of terrific performers!

Chris Brum Sings

2y↑66

I love this! Next we need all Six ex wives of Henry the 8th! That would be perfect for Tiny Desk! And it’ll be exciting to hear stripped down versions of the songs!

Amy Presley

2y↑13

This makes me want a revival cast album SO badly. Please give it to us!!!!!!

Candace

2y↑1

Sameee there’s a london cast recording but I need a recording of this cast too

voxextremos22

2y↑32

Katrina has such a Great voice for Sondheim smooth as silk but also fragile as glass. Also I’ve the female POV there is a lot more pressure on women to be married nowadays. Also turning “You Could Drive A Person Crazy” works very well with men.

12:18 The three part harmony sounds so good here these three usually sound off in their other renditions they have much better chemistry now

That Bobby Conte Thornton-performance was unbelievable!

Maria Gomes

2y↑12

What an enchanting cast!!

Noah Spurs

2y↑2

Am I the only one who feels compelled to watch this multiple times per week? Just wonderful! Thank you, NPR, Tiny Desk crew and -- of course -- the Company! 🙏🎵🙏🎵🙏

Cine Fiend40

2y↑3

That was incredible. Had no clue who they were, what the show was, but I was thoroughly entertained from start to finish. When they mentioned the late brilliant Sondheim, it all made sense. Their vibrant energy was so palpable and infectious. Definitely going back to this. Brava!

Ouran

2y↑2

I feel so blessed I could see Company live, truly a masterpiece

prairie4life

2y↑9

Someone please tell me that this cast is releasing this as an album. It's too good.

kyra greene

2y↑5

the closest we'll get to a cast recording

Chuckers

2y↑7

Saw this show on DEc 18th. It was AWESOME! Such a great production. The gender swap and the staging/direction really make the show work SO much better. Everyone was awesome, but two stand out moments are "Not Getting Married Today" and what was originally the "Tick Tock Dance" sequence. I really wish they would put this show on video and sell it after the run it is over.

HierophantPurple

2y↑2

Saw this show a few days ago!! It was amazing! The entire cast was phenomenal and I really enjoyed the show and its story. I highly recommend seeing it!

Kassandra Campbell

2y↑3

I need a cast recording of the show with this cast 😭 They're amazing

Kevin Eatmon

2y↑2

I’ve seen this play’s newest revival several times this year. This is arguably the greatest Broadway play I have ever seen. 🐐
Only my childhood favorite “The Wiz” can come close to this production IMHO. If you haven’t seen it yet, please get to New York to see it before it goes away later this year in 2022! You’ll be glad you did.
I REALLY hope this cast gets to do an original album!

Melissa

1y↑1

Woah!! Wish I could see a recorded version of this since I’ll never be able to see it live. Happy to have at least this. What a lovely version of Another Hundred People.

helena maria

Geez, the harmonies on Drive a Person Crazy are next level

Madame Corgi

2y↑3

First time hearing this cast and they're all so fabulous! Only two songs in. I live in England so I dearly hope they make a proshot

Celeste Lalianna

2y↑15

Having to watch this with the sound off because I'm in study hall feels like legitimate torture, especially during Someone is Waiting and Hundred People, but wow am I excited to watch this in its entirety later. (I can practically hear Company and Drive A Person Crazy through the screen though)

Annie Fahy Consulting

2y↑5

I so appreciate the chance to hear some of these arrangements since I am unlikely to see the live version.

amelia

2y↑6

also this version of you could drive a person crazy is actually driving me crazy

Memo2Self

2y↑50

A couple of weeks ago, I posted here about not getting a sense of the "show" of "Jagged Little Pill," as opposed to the previous Tiny Desk performances of "Hadestown" and "The Band's Visit" (Katrina!!!). Even though it's the same kind of setup - actor/singers in a common room - this absolutely tells me that there's something more, something capital-T-Theatrical about this show, away from the Tiny Desk. Thank you!

M. C. Master

2y↑3

Perhaps the answer lies within this word ~~ TALENT.

Kym Quinn

2y↑2

YES. MORE 'MUSICAL' TINY DESKS PLEASE.

bookwormgirl000

2y↑2

i love this SO MUCH more broadway please!!!

Joyce Glasgow

2y↑3

I hope I get to see this cast at some point! I love “Company”!🙏

Theo Fields

2y↑1

Man that "you could drive a person crazy" is second only to the original, that was fantastic and has the marks of the man himself, SS

Jackie Naiditch

2y↑1

What a joy! Thanks so much for brightening my day.

Agnieszka Reda

2y↑6

I love that they also invites Broadway casts!!

Juan Manuel Torreblanca

2y↑18

This kinda deserved to include ALL THE SONGS in the musical

M. C. Master

Then, unfortunately, it wouldn't be tiny. It's their thing......

Mackenzie Cadden

Just saw this on Broadway Friday! It was fantastic

Another Hundred People had me shattered. I can't stop replaying that part.

So so nice!!! Thank you the cast of Company. Thank you NPR and thank you mr. Sondheim!! RIP 🙏

Will be watching this on repeat until they release a cast album. That is all.

Do you not like certain types of musicals or just musicals in general? Out of curiosity!

Hi

SO sad that this show is closing. I really hope they make a cast recording

Jennie H

2y↑2

This was AMAZING!!

John Primavera

2y↑5

Is anyone else looking back at the first song and just thinking "This would be a great setting for this number if they did a movie version"?

goblueinga

2y↑2

I. Can't. WAIT. To see this live!!

mooenterprises

2y↑3

This makes it so easy to listen to! I can find Sondheim a bit….effort-ful, but this performance was a breeze!

Hayden Anderson

no like i needed them to perform side by side 😭

Olivia O'Hagan

I was incredibly lucky and got to be at the Opening night of this version on the West End and it was easily the most incredible live musical experiences I’ve ever had and now seeing the Broadway cast, Bobby Conte has blown me out the water!
There’s an amazing Seth Rudetsky video on YouTube breaking another hundred people down and analysing the original recording and the song became so much more meaningful. It’s especially interesting as the Pamela Myers interpretation is just so different. Thé skill that so many artists have to reinterpret and reinvigorate work as genius as Sondheims is astounding.
