McSweeney’s presents: Documentary Now! – Original Cast Album: Company + Original Cast Album: Co-Op
at The Roxie
(3pm)
Go behind the scenes of a single, grueling night in the recording studio with Original Cast Album: Company, D. A. Pennebaker's electrifying portrait of artists under pressure. As Stephen Sondheim and an all-star cast race against the clock to capture the perfect take, tensions rise and perfection proves elusive, revealing both the agony and exhilaration of the creative process.
Followed by Documentary Now! episode "Original Cast Album: Co-Op" (24 min), a brilliantly chaotic homage that transforms artistic ambition into comedic meltdown--equal parts loving tribute and pitch-perfect parody.
