@@MichaelJohnson-vi6eh Agreed. The 21st century is beginning of interpretations in the same manner as one would expect of a Shakespeare production. Very exciting!
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~
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.
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."
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"
i LOOOVE this "you could make a person crazy" arrangement. i hate watching performances where all three singers sing the same notes at the same time and refuse to harmonize. this arrangement makes the three sound actually distinct
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.
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!!
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!
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
@@maggiemcfly5267 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.
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.
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.
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!
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. 😁
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.
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
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
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!
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! 🙏🎵🙏🎵🙏
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!
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!
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)
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.
10:02 First it was "Look I'll call you in the morning or my service will explain" Then it was "Look I'll text you in the morning or I'll call you and explain" Now it's "Look I'll message you tomorrow or I'll call you and explain"
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!
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!
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 RUclips 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.
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.
When the whole room was endearingly staring at Katrina singing 'Someone is Waiting', I felt that
5:08
Oh, me, too! I remember feeling JUST like that, way before I even knew the musical.

They are all soooo good, but that rendition of Another Hundred People was really touching. I hope they release a cast recording
that performance gave me chills! was not expecting that
Yes the 3 other versions that I have seen have that song being sung rather cynically, and this one was definitely not.
This is the comment I was looking for. 💕
@@MichaelJohnson-vi6eh Agreed. The 21st century is beginning of interpretations in the same manner as one would expect of a Shakespeare production. Very exciting!
They indeed did release this version as a cast recording
This is so nice, ever since Hadestown last year I wished NPR would do more Broadway. Thank you for this!
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~
You must have missed the Jagged Little Pill video from a few weeks ago.
So true
Check out the one from the bands visit!
NEED a cast recording of this cast like.. yesterday
I especially need Matt Doyle's "Getting Married Today" in my ears... STAT
IKR!!
I need to hear sorry-grateful ASAP
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
In fact, the lack of an album forces fans to obtain the bootleg album with good quality audio taken live by the audience.
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.
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."
Exactly what I’m thinking!! Absolutely obsessed with his take on the song and his voice
I’ve been so so obsessed with the new arrangement of Drive a Person Crazy since the London debut… it still absolutely SLAPS. Iconic!
Everybody pulled it off, I was not sure about how it would go and those guys ripped it to shreds, amazing
i don't like the harmonize (arragment) of male trio. :(
It's so amazing when people can truly play within the madness that is sondehim music -- that's artistry!!
troo
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.
The way that this is not nearly long enough. Incredible
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!
“this band is very large. it is the side of a small broadway cast.”
bravi
I have never heard of Bobby Conte, he caught my eye, amazingly talented!
he led the cast of A Bronx Tale in 2017! amazing acting and vocals in that show :)
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"
you can hear the laughter in their harmonies. i’m in love
The rendition of another 100 people is literally EVERYTHING
0:04 - *Company* (3:04 / 3:16)
4:21 - *Someone is Waiting* (7:24)
8:58 - *Another Hundred People* (11:29 / 11:42)
12:28 - *You Could Drive A Person Crazy* (15:13)
[15:31 - Tiny Desk team]
Thank you.
the way they all look at each other when they perform 😭😭
i LOOOVE this "you could make a person crazy" arrangement. i hate watching performances where all three singers sing the same notes at the same time and refuse to harmonize. this arrangement makes the three sound actually distinct
This is so fresh -- all the arrangement choices and interpretations of these pieces necessary for a female Bobby. :)

They sound AMAZING. Wish Patti was there. Happy first preview tonight!
I also miss Kyle. At least Manu Narayan filled in for him.
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.
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!
already in love with this production. i hope we get a broadway cast recording.
Katrina Lenk's version of Someone is Waiting is so far my most favorite ever, listening to it teleports me somewhere ethereal. love love love it

Perhaps the answer lies within this word ~~ TALENT.
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. 😁
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.
Mr. Sondheim would appreciate how many people are paying tribute to him by watching Sondheim RUclips videos this weekend.
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
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
That Bobby Conte Thornton-performance was unbelievable!
I have been sitting here smiling for 15 mins like a complete fool, I just love company so much!
I'm putting "You Could Drive A Person Crazy" on repeat, that's for sure!
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!!!
Love that kid! Known him since he was kid!
His voice is incredible!!! After seeing the show live, I knew that I had to perform AHP at my Thestival for thespian club 💗💗
This greatly improved my quality of life for 15 minutes & 56 seconds
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!
i’d love to hear katrina sing being alive!! so good..
also this version of you could drive a person crazy is actually driving me crazy
Another Hundred People had me shattered. I can't stop replaying that part.
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! 🙏🎵🙏🎵🙏
I think Being Alive is my favorite Broadway number of all time. I LOVE Company!
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!
Thank you tiny desk for bringing musical Theater here ☺️
'another hundred people' was so magnetic are you kidding. i couldn't tear my eyes away.
One day something will click in my brain and I will understand and "get" musicals like this. Until then god speed you beautiful dorks.
This comment brought me joy 😂
Do you not like certain types of musicals or just musicals in general? Out of curiosity!
Someone is waiting is such a beautiful song, it really pulls you in no matter where you come from in my opinion
More Broadway on Tiny Desk!! We love it!
This kinda deserved to include ALL THE SONGS in the musical
Then, unfortunately, it wouldn't be tiny. It's their thing......
''look, i'll message you tomorrow or i'll call you to explain''...
Love it...
This is so great!!! So now I just need a part 2 including being alive, sorry-grateful and getting married today 😊
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
okay Jennifer Simard with her ICONIC high notes 💅🏻💅🏻
2:45 she surely puts the eeee in company
Pretty sure it’s not Jennifer, but it’s Nikki Renee Daniels.
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!
This cast is so good ill be coming back here forever ❤️🎈
I feel so blessed I could see Company live, truly a masterpiece
You could drive a person crazy was so good! I need to see this show asap.
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"?
no like i needed them to perform side by side 😭
This makes me want a revival cast album SO badly. Please give it to us!!!!!!
Sameee there’s a london cast recording but I need a recording of this cast too
and then there's me who cries through the whole tiny concert...I love this so much.
I like Company now. Incredible cast.
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)
i've never been touched by someone is waiting until i heard this version and now my mind is blown
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.
I love that they also invites Broadway casts!!
This entire cast took our breath away. What an extraordinary ensemble and superb production
So so nice!!! Thank you the cast of Company. Thank you NPR and thank you mr. Sondheim!! RIP 🙏
Katrina Lenk is ethereal!
What an enchanting cast!!
10:02 First it was "Look I'll call you in the morning or my service will explain"
Then it was "Look I'll text you in the morning or I'll call you and explain"
Now it's "Look I'll message you tomorrow or I'll call you and explain"
I like the newest change compared to the "text you in the morning"
I think it’s hard to articulate text in that song. It’s so fast.
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!
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!
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
Oh my God this is the happiest I've been all week
I so appreciate the chance to hear some of these arrangements since I am unlikely to see the live version.
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 RUclips 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.
Rewatching this too many times to trace whose eyes are looking where in each moment (help)
Also, trying to listen intently to isolate each cast member's vocals during the performances
I actually saw this in New York in March with this cast (including Patti Lupone)! It was fantastic!
More please more!! This is wonderful and brilliant!! Thank you NPR for another hit!!
espectacular desde el momento 1!!!
por algo están aquí
felicitaciones
I need a cast recording of the show with this cast 😭 They're amazing
Bobby Conte Thornton does such a good Another Hundred People aaaaa
so wonderful. what a way to start the holiday season!
I like the fact that I can occasionaly see my uncle's nearly bald head playing the piano :D
Dude is shredding it.
@@WatchandLearn16 Absolutely
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
Arranger's brain goes like 🤯🤯🤯
As a McElroy fan can I just say:
IS THAT MATT DOYLE?!??
This cast is sk wonderful and there harmonies are just so smooth 💜💜
the fact they didn’t play being alive is a crime
2:21 when the beat drops in a Sondheim song
I'm already starting to feel the christmas spirit dude 🐇
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.
Got my ticket for June! Can’t wait to see this amazing take on my favorite musical!!
MORE BROADWAY PLEASE!
i love bobby conte's effortlessly gliding voice
Just saw this on Broadway Friday! It was fantastic
I love this so much, thanks! And break a leg to Company!
This is amazing!!!! Definitely my favorite video of 2021!! Talented cast ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Katrina is absolutely spectacular
The amount of times I’ve listened to Another Hundred People. Bobby, please doo it 🥲
Saw this on Broadway a few weeks ago; brilliant from start to finish.
AHHHH I LOVE THIS CAST! it is so hard to get this show right and this is so great
I feel Bobby Conte’s joy when they’re singing the first song.
