From the team that brought you Has Anyone Ever Told You You'd Look Better as a Brunette?, comes Co-op, the ill-fated Broadway show that opened and closed on the same night amid disastrous reviews.
Written by Simon Sawyer and directed by Howard Pine, the musical comedy centers around a cast of characters who all work, live or want to live in the same co-op, including Robbie the Doorman, Donna, the mistress of a tenant , Danny, the single guy just trying to get through the holidays, and Annie the tennis coach who dreams of living in the building.
SONGS REVIEW: 1- "Co-op" A typical opening number slightly more fleshed out than that seen in the episode. 2- "Christmas Tips" Hilarious but also very professionally Broadway-ish song about the door man (Richard Kind) blackmailing residents of the building into giving him better tips. The orchestration is masterful. 3- "Holiday Party" A fast-talking number resembling "Getting Married Today" (Beth Howland) from Company. Funny only for a couple bits of real world slang about cocaine. Vague themes of "Light My Candle" or "I Should Tell You" from Rent. 4- "My Home Court" Significantly longer than in the episode and one of my favorite songs from the record. This is the "brown and the beige" song. A young tennis coach (Renee Elise Goldsberry) dreams of all the seriously dated ways she can dress up her dream apartment. This is vaguely similar to "Another Hundred People" from Company. Seriously unsung talent this lady. 5- "I Gotta Go" This is the shining star of the episode but the album rendition is amazing. Paula Pell knocks it out of the park! The backstory of course is that Elaine Stritch has an issue with her voice on the day of recording "The Ladies Who Lunch" for the Company album, was given a second chance and came in the next day and knocked it out of the park. The album version of "I Gotta Go" is IMO 10% more beautiful and less comical than you'd expect. This is the version where she is wearing the dark glasses on day 2. The rest of the song is even more heartfelt than the ending shown in the episode. 6- "Going Up" Another really professional Broadway-ish piece led by Richard Kind and Paula Pell. This really makes me envision an elevator scene is a real production.
