This holy grail for both documentary and theater aficionados offers a tantalizingly rare glimpse behind the Broadway curtain. In 1970, right after the triumphant premiere of Stephen Sondheim’s groundbreaking concept musical Company, the renowned composer and lyricist, his director Harold Prince, the show’s stars, and a large pit orchestra all went into a Manhattan recording studio as part of a time-honored Broadway tradition: the making of the original cast album.
What ensued was a marathon session in which, with the pressures of posterity and the coolly exacting Sondheim’s perfectionism hanging over them, all involved pushed themselves to the limit—including theater legend Elaine Stritch, who fought anxiety and exhaustion to record her iconic rendition of “The Ladies Who Lunch.” With thrilling immediacy, legendary filmmaker D. A. Pennebaker offers an up-close view of the larger-than-life personalities, frayed-nerve energy, and explosive creative intensity that go into capturing the magic of live performance.
Special features:
– New, restored 4K digital transfer, supervised by Chris Hegedus and Nate Pennebaker
– New audio commentary with composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim
– Audio commentary featuring D. A. Pennebaker, Elaine Stritch, and Harold Prince
– New conversation among Sondheim, orchestrator Jonathan Tunick, and critic Frank Rich
– Never-before-heard audio excerpts
– “Original Cast Album: ‘Co-Op,’” an episode of the TV series Documentary Now!
– And more

Jazz On A Summer’s Day (Blu-Ray)
The Newport Jazz Festival was created in 1954 by Rhode Island socialites Elaine and Louis Lorillard, and it couldn’t have come at a better time in history. With a few exceptions, the big band jazz scene had waned in the early 1950s and, in its place, smaller groups and solo performers took centre stage, which […]
