Despite most of the media's attention being focused on Charlie Sheen these days, his former "Two and a Half Men" co-star Jon Cryer has reportedly - and much more quietly - been cast in the NY Philharmonic production of COMPANY as David.

According to the New York Times, he joins Christina Hendricks (of AMC's "Mad Men") as April, Tony Award-winner Katie Finneran as Amy, Craig Bierko as Peter, Aaron Lazar as Paul, Jill Paice as Susan, Jennifer Laura Thompson as Jenny, and Chryssie Whitehead as Kathy, in addition to the previously announced Neil Patrick Harris as Robert, Patti LuPone as Joanne, Anika Noni Rose as Marta, Martha Plimpton as Sarah, Jim Walton as Larry and comedian Stephen Colbert as Harry.

The award-winning musical concert will be produced and directed by Lonny Price, who directed and co-produced last season's SONDHEIM: The Birthday Concert!, and will be conducted by Sondheim specialist Paul Gemignani, with the original orchestrations for a 35-piece orchestra by Jonathan Tunick.

Set in New York, Company follows five married, once-married, and soon-to-be-married couples and their mutual friend, Robert (Mr. Harris), a bachelor who has been unable to connect in a long-term relationship. The relationships are presented in a series of vignettes, primarily through Robert's eyes. The show's songs include "Company," "Side by Side by Side," "The Ladies Who Lunch," "Another Hundred People," and "Being Alive."
