It’s a fun gimmick, but poor Bob Fosse, this revival has probably had him rolling In his grave several times.

The brand new choreography and orchestrations will be a major change. Right now, Tunick and Gemignani’s involvement is the only saving grace for me.

I couldn’t agree more with this. Of course, I rather be pleasantly surprised, but I’m not expecting much.

I don’t think I’ve ever been less excited for a revival for a show that I love.

Yep, Marianne stated this won’t be a replica of the London production, and they will make improvements where necessary. I know the “Another Hundred People” sequence was almost universally disliked, so I’m wondering if that will be changed for Broadway.
The age of 8 Is likely a mistake. I would say mostly anyone under 14 would probably be extremely bored by the show. Company is known as a sophisticated musical for adults (as most Sondheim shows.) I assume they will go for a 12 and older audience recommendation, the same as the Chicago revival.

Matt Doyle is playing Jamie. I did think of Kyle Dean Massey for Andy, as well.

The recording needs to be louder. That’s my biggest gripe with it, aside from the wonky accents. The orchestrations are still fab, and the exit music is perfection. I think broadway will produce a much more lively recording.
