Company - 2021 Broadway History , Info & More


Company will come home to New York this season, with opening night set for March 22, 2020 at Broadway's Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre. The production will officially open on Stephen Sondheim's 90th Birthday following previews, which begin Monday, March 2. The production, directed by Marianne Elliott, will not be a replica of the version that recently ran in London's West End. It will feature an American cast, and some updates.

At Bobbie's 35th birthday party all her friends are wondering why she isn't married; why she can't find the right man and why she hasn't settled down to have a family. The multi-award winning musical comedy about life, love and marriage includes Stephen Sondheim's iconic songs, "The Ladies who Lunch," "Being Alive," "Side by Side," and "You Could Drive a Person Crazy."

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Company

'Company' review — a welcome reinvention of the classic musical
8 / 10

For the single women attending this show, it's impossible not to feel something deeply for this story. I am just like Bobbie, single by choice and moving into my 34th year of living. The pressures of life and family to marry for love, or company, exist. Any time you turn on ABC on a Tuesday evening for an episode of The Bachelorette or log onto any popular dating app you can catch a woman approaching her 30s trying to beat marriage clock she built for herself. This vibrant reinvention is welcome and authentic, but Bobbie needs stronger conviction to make us truly care.

Broadway review: A fascinating ‘Company’ that no longer believes so much in love
8 / 10

Which brings us to LuPone. Her visceral, showstopping, rendition of 'The Ladies Who Lunch,' performed as her character, Joanne, sits perched in a grinding nightclub, is simply extraordinary, filled with angst, hope, cynicism, possibility, vulnerability and all of the qualities you typically and traditionally look for in 'Company.' Unlike Lenk, who is perfectly charming and perfectly consistent throughout the entire production, LuPone's Joanne actually changes over the course of the number, journeying toward some kind of love (or at least human communion) as people typically do in musicals.
