Theater 2020 To Present Stephen Sondheim's COMPANY This Spring

Theater 2020 will bring COMPANY to Brooklyn this spring. The 12-time TONY Award winning musical will run at The Mark O'Donnell Theater for a limited engagement, April 17th through May 11th, 2025.

From musical theatre's most renowned composer, Stephen Sondheim, Company is largely regarded as a trailblazer of the modern musical. Company features a brilliantly energetic score containing many of Stephen Sondheim's best-known songs. Sondheim himself considered this to be a seminal work, when he finally found his musical “voice.” George Furth brilliantly provides the musical's underpinnings with a book both poignant and hilarious.

On the night of his 35th birthday, Robert is at a crossroads. He contemplates his singular life through his relationships with his married friends, his girlfriends, and his loneliness in their midst. His life is spent in the company of his friends, among them, with them, surrounded by them, “those good and crazy people.” But there is something wrong. Commitment? Love? The life of a third wheel and a serial dater is wearing thin.

This show is Robert's journey, through memories of his interplay with his friends, from the selfishness of bachelorhood to selflessness of true company. There are many kinds of relationships, many kinds of love, and only when he can open up to the possibility of truly caring can he become truly good company.
