Synopsis :
The clashing sounds and pulsing
rhythms of New York City underscore this landmark
"concept" show, considered by many to
have inaugurated the modern era of musical theatre.
“Company” follows our anti-hero bachelor
Robert as he makes his way through a series of encounters
with April (the stewardess), Kathy (the girl who's
going to marry someone else), Marta (the "peculiar"
one), as well as with his married friends.
On the night of his 35th birthday,
confirmed bachelor Robert contemplates his unmarried
state. In vignette after hilarious vignette, we
are introduced to "those good and crazy people,"
his married friends, as Robert weighs the pros and
cons of married life. In the end, he realizes being
alone is "alone, not alive."
An honest, witty, sophisticated
look at relationships, “Company” is
as contemporary and relevant as ever (witness the
recent hit revivals on Broadway and the West End).
It features a brilliant energetic score containing
many of Sondheim's best-known songs (including "Another
Hundred People," "The Ladies Who Lunch"
and "Being Alive") and an ensemble of
quirky, memorable Woody Allen-esque characters which
doubles as the show's chorus.
