Rupert in Company
I've been lucky enough to see our own Rupert Young in the Sondheim musical Company twice already, and he was just so very very brilliant. And I am in love. ♥
I thought I would gather here all the fannish reports on his brilliance, along with other relevant links. If I miss anything, please let me know, as I am a bit frazzled with work at the moment. Not to mention distracted by a certain knight...

♦ And a very pleasing review by Kieran James here at The Good Review, bless them!
Actually, the bits about Rupert deserve to be quoted: '... Bobby the flawed hero of the piece charismatically portrayed by the ever watchable Rupert Young whom we follow on his quest for love and companionship. ... This play needs a strong lead as so much depends on the audience's relationship with him, and Young gives a confident and endearing performance capturing the unlikeable qualities of the character and somehow transforming them into something charming, he acts the songs and allows others their moments, it is a generous and skilful portrayal.'
{happy sigh} That's our own Sir Rupert!
