Though this revival of Stephen Sondheim's Company was controversial, the recording easily takes its place next to the classic 1970 original. The cast copes with Sondheim's often dense music more fluidly, and there's less of a veneer of jaded cynicism interfering with the show's real message.
Married Today is hilarious.
The one drawback is Debra Monk's The Ladies Who Lunch , which is even more vulgar and less convincing than it was onstage.
