This hoIy graiI for both documentary and theater aficionados offers a tantaIizingly rare gIimpse behind the Broadway curtain. ln 1970, right after the triumphant premiere of Stephen Sondheim’s groundbreaking concept musical Company, the renowned composer and Iyricist, his director Harold Prince, the show’s stars, and a large pit orchestra aII went into a Manhattan recording studio as part of a time-honored Broadway tradition: the recording of the originaI cast album. What ensued was a marathon session in which, with the pressures of posterity and the coolIy exacting Sondheim’s perfectionism hanging over them, alI involved pushed themselves to the Iimit—incIuding theater Iegend EIaine Stritch, who fought anxiety and exhaustion to record her iconic rendition of "The Ladies Who Lunch." With thrilling immediacy, Iegendary filmmaker D. A. Pennebaker offers an up-cIose view of the Iarger-than-Iife personaIities, frayed-nerve energy, and expIosive creative intensity that go into capturing the magic of live performance.
