Image Entertainment presents the DVD and Blu-ray DVD release of the hit Broadway musical, Company, featuring music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim on May 20th! Director John Doyle brings his unique approach similar to his version of Sweeney Todd in 2005: the actors perform all the instruments on stage.
Winner of the 2007 Tony Award! Sweeping all the major theater awards for Best Revival of a Musical, a beloved era-defining classic is stunningly reinvented in this powerful Broadway production, featuring an explosive starring performance by Raúl Esparza. Set in modern upper-crust Manhattan, Company is a funny, sophisticated exploration of love and commitment as seen through the eyes of a charming perpetual bachelor questioning his single state and his enthusiastically married, slightly envious friends. With a wise and witty Stephen Sondheim score including "Another Hundred People," "Side by Side by Side," "The Ladies Who Lunch" and "Being Alive," Company offers musical comedy at its finest.
