Excellent show, excellent DVD!

"Putting It Together" is a gem for any fan of musical theater (especially Sondheim fans). The songs are amazing, and all are beautifully delivered; this is a thoroughly enjoyable DVD. Plus, it has Captain Jack Harkness of 'Torchwood' - what more could you ask for? ;-) May 15, 2008

Hilarious and Beautiful

This is a musical delight I can't stop watching and singing along to! The cast is outstanding. Bronson Pinchot and Carol Burnett will have you rolling with laughter (and so will John Barrowman if you watch the outtake!). Witty, well choreographed, and with an intricately-designed set, Putting It Together is one surprise after another. John Barrowman delights with flashy moves and soulful singing, as does Ruthie Henshall, who has shenanigans of her own up her sleeve. Last but not least, George Hearn is spot-on as the aging husband who looks upon his life with some regret over the past, zeal for the present, and hope for the future.

It's a party, and we're all invited! April 9, 2008

putting it together

John Barrowman and Carol Burnett are in great form! the entertaining is great. John Barrowman is great multi-talented entertainer and needs to be reconised more here in the US.

Got it together

Very entertaining. Bronson Pinchot was very funny. I'm partial to John Barrowman, so of course I found him to be wonderful. What a voice! I love it when he belts out those notes as clear as a bell. Even with the rest of the cast on stage, he still manages to take command with his sheer presence.

One small, suggestive scene, otherwise good for all family ages. December 13, 2007

A great cast and great laughs

I found this DVD to be wonderful from start to finish. To be honest, I purchased it because I am a great fan of John Barrowman, but found I enjoyed all the members of this cast. Each performer has their own separate strengths which make this very watchable. I only wish there were additional special features, but the one blooper that is included is a riot! Enjoy!
