COMPANY to Screen at Ziegfeld Theatre 6/26; Special Talk Back with Director Lonny Price to Follow

As BroadwayWorld announced yesterday, screenvision, the leading innovator in cinema advertising, has added extended dates for its limited presentation of the New York Philharmonic's critically acclaimed, all-star revival of Stephen Sondheim's Tony Award-winning musical, Company. Due to the overwhelming response of the movie theater audience of the sold-out production, now more fans have the opportunity to see this once in a lifetime revival of classic musical theater.

COMPANY will receive a special screening at the famous Ziegfeld Theatre this Sunday, June 26th. In honor of this special event, Screenvision will host a Q & A session with COMPANY's award-winning director, Lonny Price, for all attendees immediately following the on-screen presentation.

COMPANY's plot revolves around Bobby (a single man unable to commit fully to a steady relationship, let alone marriage), the five married couples who are his best friends, and his three girlfriends. It's a concept musical composed of short vignettes, presented in no particular chronological order, linked by a celebration for Bobby's 35th birthday.

Company is currently screening in over (50) markets that not only include New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and Boston but smaller cities as well to give as wide an audience as possible an affordable Broadway experience. Tickets, showtimes and locations are available at: www.companyonscreen.com. Tickets are available at $18 each.

Directed by Lonny Price, the highly-buzzed about revival of Company features an all-star cast of television and stage heavyweights. Headlining the production is (in alphabetical order): Craig Bierko, Stephen Colbert, Jon Cryer, Katie Finneran, Neil Patrick Harris, Christina Hendricks, Aaron Lazar, Patti LuPone, Jill Paice, Martha Plimpton, Anika Noni Rose, Jennifer Laura Thompson, Jim Walton and Chryssie Whitehead. Sondheim specialist Paul Gemignani conducts the New York Philharmonic with Jonathan Tunick's original orchestrations. Josh Rhodes is the choreographer; Matt Cowart serves as producer and Ellen M. Krass is the executive producer.

With music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by George Furth, Company follows five couples and their bachelor friend, Robert (Harris), exploring the true meaning of being in a relationship through a series of vignettes.

Company marks the latest addition to Screenvision's alternative content strategy, designed to bring events from the worlds of fine arts, sports, children's programming and engaging documentary programming to the movie theater environment. These events are designed to provide patrons across North America an opportunity to experience captivating programming to which they otherwise would not likely have access.
