Company
Company is a landmark musical, described by Time as "one of those few shows that enter the permanent lore of the theatre by altering the vocabulary of dramatic possibilities."
The San Francisco Examiner hailed it as "there's never been a franker, more sophisticated work written for the musical stage."
With a deliberately episodic, painfully accurate book by George Furth and an unforgettable score by Stephen Sondheim, Company is a total reversal of the usual musical comedy format. It is rigorously unsentimental, with the courage to be both bitter and honest about love and marriage, as noted by Kevin Kelly from the Boston Globe.
A breakthrough on Broadway in 1970, Company remains fresh, acerbic, and original today. Its themes—marriage and commitment, friendship and loneliness—and its innovations in form continue to mark it as a landmark of modern American musical theatre.
Company's 25th anniversary was commemorated by two major revivals: in New York at the Roundabout Theatre Company and in London at the Donmar Warehouse. This edition incorporates all revisions and additions made for these productions.
