Running since: October, 2006 Sondheim's comedy/drama of modern matrimonial bliss and the folks who refuse to find it - in a twist, the actors double as the orchestra (as in last season's Sweeney Todd). 2007 Tony Award: Best Revival of a Musical
The Broadway production of Company closed July 1, 2007. For current Broadway show listings and tickets, please click here.
Think "Sex and the City" as a slightly nonrealistic but very stylish and introspective musical comedy. Legendary Broadway bard Stephen Sondheim created this true-to-life Upper West Side dating fantasia many years ago, and it is one of the more frequently-produced of his efforts in the regionals. The series of vignettes follow "Bobby", a feller who is just trying to find the right dame... for the evening, and wondering at his friends who seem to be setting in for a considerably longer haul.
There is a gimmick. There's no orchestra. The actors play all the instruments, as in last season's riotously received Sweeney Todd. Best for the young adult Chianti-and-crackers crowd, this show is approachable enough to be enjoyed by even the theatrical novice.
