ORIGINAL CAST ALBUM: COMPANY (1970) Stream on the Criterion Channel. Stephen Sondheim’s formally adventurous 1970 Broadway musical about modern relationship issues is viewed by many as his breakout work as an independent creative force. D.A. Pennebaker, the filmmaker known for his documentary work on the upheaval and music of the 1960s and ’70s, was on hand when the original cast gathered at “The Church,” a Columbia Records studio in Midtown Manhattan, to record the show’s cast album. Sondheim is featured in the documentary, as is Elaine Stritch, who played Joanne, and other performers. Among the songs captured are “Another Hundred People” and “The Ladies Who Lunch.”
PAN (2015) Stream on Hulu; rent on Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, Vudu and YouTube. J.M. Barrie’s story of Peter Pan has inspired many adaptations since it debuted in its recognizable form as a play in 1904. This movie by Joe Wright and Jason Fuchs tries to add something to the canon by providing the eponymous character with an origin story. In this telling, Peter (Levi Miller) is an orphan living in London during World War II. He and several of his friends are kidnapped by pirates and brought to Neverland to mine for a magical substance. When he runs afoul of the pirate leader Blackbeard (Hugh Jackman), Peter discovers a hidden talent that saves his skin and puts him on the path to finding his true identity.
What’s on TV
ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO 9 p.m. on The CW. The city that lends this series its name has been an important location in American mythology since remnants of a mysterious aircraft were found at a ranch nearby in 1947. The military said it was the wreckage of a balloon but some believe that an alien spaceship crashed at the site. This show, a reboot of an earlier TV series, opts for the unofficial, speculative narrative. It tells the story of Liz (Jeanine Mason), a scientific researcher who returns home to New Mexico and rekindles her relationship with Max (Nathan Parsons), a stranded alien in hiding. Their connection has been tested repeatedly by unresolved secrets and extraterrestrial intrigue. In the Season 2 finale, Liz will have to contend with a number of threats and she may not be able to save everyone she cares about.
SONGLAND 10 p.m. on NBC. For almost two decades,there has been a steady stream of reality shows that allow aspiring performers to strut their stuff. Songwriters, who tend to work behind the scenes, have had far fewer opportunities. This competition show was conceived as a way to redress that imbalance and show viewers how songs are crafted. Each episode gathers four writers who present their creations to a group of music producers and one guest star or band.The winning submission is recorded by the musical guest under their own name and released. The second season wraps with the R&B superstar Usher sitting in as the talent scout and prospective client.
