The New York Philharmonic's concert presentation of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth's COMPANY, which will end its run at Avery Fisher Hall on April 9, will be filmed this weekend for movie theaters, with distribution to begin on June 15, according to a NY Philharmonic spokesperson. Additional details are expected to be announced shortly.

The performance is directed by Lonny Price, with choreography by Josh Rhodes. The NY Philharmonic is conducted by Paul Gemignani.

The cast features Craig Bierko (Peter), Stephen Colbert (Harry), Jon Cryer (David), Katie Finneran (Amy), Neil Patrick Harris (Bobby), Christina Hendricks (April), Aaron Lazar (Paul), Patti LuPone (Joanne), Jill Paice (Susan), Martha Plimpton (Sarah), Anika Noni Rose (Marta), Jennifer Laura Thompson (Jenny), Jim Walton (Larry), and Chryssie Whitehead (Kathy), as well as Alexa Green, Fred Inkley, Rob Lorey, Jessica Vosk, Callie Carter, Ariana DeBose, Ashley Firzgerald, and Lorin Latarro.

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."
