Highlights

Synopsis

“A landmark musical, one of those few shows that enter the permanent lore of the theatre by altering the vocabulary of dramatic possibilities.”

Time

“There’s never been a franker, more sophisticated work written for the musical stage.”

San Francisco Examiner

“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.

It has the courage to be both bitter and honest about love and marriage.”

–Kevin Kelly, Boston Globe

A breakthrough Broadway musical in 1970, Company remains fresh, acerbic and original today.

The musical’s themes—marriage and commitment, friendship and loneliness—and its innovations in form mark it as a landmark of modern American musical theatre.
