AUDIENCE COMMENTS
"My wife and I would love to...congratulate you and the cast on a truly
wonderful production that has re-ignited our interest in live musical
theatre in Vancouver. We felt that Matt Palmer played Bobby's role superbly,
with a great combination of humour, pathos, energy and subtlety. I don't
have my program with me but found that the actress portraying Amy's wedding
doubts was a personal highlight for me and she is a gifted comedic talent
when it is called for. Please pass on to the entire cast our compliments and
gratitude for the consistently high energy they maintained throughout the
evening. We have never seen the works of Sondheim so well produced in Canada
and we both salute Bill Millerd."
~ Dr. David Cawood, West Vancouver
"Your production of Company was one of the highlights of a great holiday.
Fabulous show with a superb cast."
~ Phil & Gary, Harrogate, UK
"I am still singing, 3 days later. Sondheim's best.
Great production" ~ Susan, Burnaby
"Costumes were AMAZING. Performances were FANTASTIC. Show was FABULOUS" ~Barbara, Vancouver
"Loved it! The performers were top-notch...great singing and dancing. Very effective and imaginative staging and choreography for the modest-sized stage. I didn't know this show at all before seeing it (only knew to expect rapid-fire witty Sondheim lyrics), and was truly blown away by how good it was. I'm recommending it to anybody who loves musical theatre. My request -- more Sondheim in future seasons, please." ~George, Vancouver
"Wow! Wow! Wow! We would like to go again and again and again..." ~ James and Phyllis, Prince George
"This is the BEST production that I have seen given by the Arts Club Theatre Company and, by far, the BEST production of this Sondheim treasure that I have EVER seen. I saw the original in New York, another in London, and one by Canadian Stage in the St. Lawrence Centre, Toronto, of which I once was General Manager. The cast, the direction and the musical direction were all outstanding. I can only offer the highest praise to everyone involved (and this was only the first preview that I caught). Congratulations, you enhance the cultural & entertainment life of this great City." ~ Michael, Vancouver
"As a self confessed Sondheim fanatic, Company is one of my favourite musicals. You did not let me down. I loved it. Not a false note anywhere. Great cast and great set decoration. Rave review from me!" ~ Eleanor, Vancouver
"I have seen 'Company' many times over the years since 1970 when I was fortunate enough to see the original Broadway Production. I felt that Matt Palmer captured Bobby's angst beautifully. Everyone else in the cast provided strong support and rounded out the story in every positive sense. But we were particularly taken with Karen Konoval's vocal strengths. Bruce and the band...how many ways can we say 'superb'?? Keep up the good work". ~ Ed, Westbank, BC
"I went with a group of friends to see Company on Sunday. I was hesitant to go because I had seen and loved the Tony Award winning version on Broadway with Raul Esparza (also in preview). No fear! it was a slick and ultra-professional production. The set was perfect and having various scenes sliding out was brilliant. It may be heresy, but I think Matt's voice is better than Raul's. The orchestra was, to my ears, flawless. All the other voices were excellent; I won't single any out. The harmony was wonderful in the group numbers. I floated out and we all 'enthused' about it outside long enough for me to miss at least one of my buses." ~ Michele, White Rock
