Raúl Esparza sings "Being Alive" from the 2006 revival of Stephen Sondheim's "Company."

This video is an excerpt from the highly recommended 2008 PBS DVD "Company." The DVD is Region 1 only (US/Canada DVD players or worldwide PC DVD players).

In 2007, "Company" won Tony Awards for "Best Revival of a Musical" and "Best Direction of a Musical (John Doyle)." Raúl was nominated for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical. The original 1970 production was nominated for 12 Tony awards and won 6 of them.

    I think he does play a kazoo in "Side by Side by Side" although I agree with you. The first real time that he played an instrument, alone. I also think that, after all that emotion, it ends amazingly with him silently blowing away the candles, and making a wish.

  • I saw this ...

    I saw this production twice on Broadway...the second time was in the 5th row Orchestra Center sitting next to the fabulous Judith Light...the entire production was amazing but this was a breathtaking moment. There was not a sound in the theatre as Raul approached the Steinway Grand and played out those opening chords. Truly a special moment in Musical Theatre. He should have been awarded the Tony for Best Actor in a Musical. I love this Sondheim musical and this production was just stunning.

  • In this ...

    In this interpretation where the actors play the instruments, this is the first time Bobby plays an instrument. He does it with excellent musicianship-and sings along beautifully-and makes this moment so poignant! I would be interested in what others think of the final moment....
