5.0 out of 5 stars Sondheim's Signature, July 1, 2002

This review is from: Company : A Musical Comedy (Vocal Score) (Paperback)

I own a copy of both the vocal score and the complete libretto and I should say it is worth owning both. The vocal score when played on piano gives lively music to make anyone dance to the beat. It never loses its Broadway touch. The notes when played by a skilled pianist would make it sound more like the orchestra accompaniment. I would highly recommend those of you who love Sondhei'm style to own one of these. This would definitely be a smash hit for your school or community theater.

5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest musical comedy ever written, May 8, 2000

This review is from: Company : A Musical Comedy (Vocal Score) (Paperback)

I love Sondheim, and this show is the best of his works in my opinion. Full of challenging songs, and complex arrangements, it will surely please the pianist or singer who is looking for something a little outside the realm of Roger's and Hammerstein to sing. Go into your nest audition with "another Hundred People", or "Getting Married Today" and blow your director away! This book contains a lot of material that is not readily available in other volumes and it is definately worth the investment. songs of note "Being Alive" "Company", "Barcelona", "the little things you do togrther" and the immortal "Ladies Who Lunch"

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for sight-reading!, January 30, 2012

If you're trying to boost your sight-reading abilities, play through Company. Sondheim will beat you into shape with complex melodies. Have fun with "Not Getting Married." Great stuff.
