Company (St. Bart's Players) NYC Reviews and Tickets

See it if you've never seen a live version and/or enjoy community theatre, offbeat theatre locales or have never been inside St Bart's Church.

Don't see it if you're expecting a full-blown production, have trouble hearing or don't like echoing church acoustics or concert vesrsions of shows Read more

See it if you care to support a dedicated community theater troupe. Spotty performances, some quite good. At times, hard to hear in such a large space

Don't see it if you want a polished production of a Sondheim classic.

See it if you want a community theatre level [talent, design, intention] of a Sondheim classic, sound & lyrics elude the proceedings at times

Don't see it if you need your Sondheim well produced, cast & directed, or if you don't like Sondheim or musicals Read more

See it if you really really love the show

Don't see it if the church doesn't lend itself well to housing a musical; the acoustics are bad and even a few pews back it was impossible to hear it all.

See it if you're open to well-intentioned community theater & talent mix of hits & misses— Bobby & Marta are hits, & are (like me) a Sondheim newbie.

Don't see it if need excellent acoustics (faulty mics made actors unintelligible at times) & visibility, or demand uniformly strong performances.

See it if you appreciate legendary Sondheim scores, including numbers popular today, or are nostalgic about your middle age single life in NYC

Don't see it if you dislike long musicals with minimal sets or stereotyping an attractive single white and white collar NYC male unable to commit to a woman

See it if You like Sondheim, you like Company, you don't mind seeing an amateur (but solid) production where the singing/acting is uneven at times

Don't see it if You are looking for a big musical with a gripping plot. You don't like uneven acting/singing. Bad acoustics are a deal breaker.

See it if You like classic Sondheim musicals.

Don't see it if You are looking for a high budget production.
