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: EVERYBODY RISE FOR THIS SMASHING SONDHEIM REVIVAL
10 / 10

Naturally, there have been a few other character gender swaps as well: The aforementioned eligible bachelors our hero is juggling now sing 'You Could Drive a Person Crazy'; it may no longer be an Andrews Sisters-style number, but the three-part harmonies are as groovy as ever. Amy-the reluctant bride who sings 'Getting Married Today'-has become Jamie the reluctant groom; Matt Doyle's take on the warp-speed, tongue-twisting tune is simply marvelous. And Bobbie's impulse proposal to Jamie ('Marry me! And everybody'll leave us alone!') is just as ridiculous as Bobby's impulse proposal to Amy always was. 'It's just that you have to want to marry somebody, not just somebody,' Jamie explains gently, leading to Bobbie's Act 1-ending 'Marry Me A Little'-the stop on the road on the way to the show-ending 'Being Alive.' Even though she proclaims 'I'm ready now,' she's clearly not: 'Love me just enough./ Warm and sweet and easy,/ Just the simple stuff,' she coos. Lenk-a Tony winner for The Band's Visit-really gets to show her range as an actress in Company.

Company on Broadway Review. Sondheim’s musical, and live tribute.
8 / 10

The production, an import from England directed by Marianne Elliott, cannot be called definitive. Its most attention-getting feature is the switching of the genders of several of the characters, which at its best feels like an interesting thought experiment about the difference in our attitudes towards men and women. Even when the gender switching feels less than completely thought out, the musical proves to be sturdy enough to allow for such noodling around without undermining the essence of the show. It helps that this 'Company' also showcases a company of some of the finest actors on Broadway, and several must-see performances - Patti LuPone, yes of course, but also Christopher Fitzgerald and Matt Doyle.

BWW Blog: It's My First Pride Month. That's Because of COMPANY on Broadway.
by Student Blogger: Bea Mienik - June 27, 2022


All I knew about COMPANY was that I was entranced by its design (killed it, marketing team), I loved the art on the Playbill, and as a college student, I loved the $59 price tag of the rush ticket even more.   ... As a musical theater major, it was an exceedingly rare thrill to go into a show knowing absolutely nothing about the plot. In hindsight, I do not know if I would have asked for a warning, if I could have gone back in time.
