Show Details & Reviews
Company: A Musical Comedy opens on March 2 at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, at 232 West 42nd Street in New York City. The show was written by Stephen Sondheim and George Furth and features Tony and Grammy Award winner Katrina Lenk and two-time Tony and Grammy Award winner Patti LuPone in the leads. The story traces 35-year-old Bobbie’s quest to understand why she isn’t yet married and the craziness of living in 21st-century New
The show debuted on Broadway in 1970 and the most recent revival was in London's West End, from September 2018-March 2019, and received nine Olivier Award nominations. A key change in the latest version of Company is that the main character, Bobbie, used to be Bobby. The show got good reviews in London.
In a review last year, The Guardian embraced the change, with reviewer Michael Billington writing, "Agender change can work wonders. It is no secret that Robert, the 35-year-old bachelor hero of this 1970 show with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by George Furth, has now become the similarly unattached Bobbie. The transition, as embodied by Rosalie Craig, makes total sense in today’s world." Billington goes on to say the show gives the audience an "ambivalent" view of marriage and though it seems to have lost its "Manhattan identity," everything else about the show is "heavenly."
The London cast will transfer to Broadway.
