I knew it was the opening night of Company on Broadway, so after our show was over we made sure to walk by the Company theater. We turned the corner and to our surprise confetti was flying everywhere. People were making their way out of the theater and people gathered in the middle of the street. The timing could not have been more perfect.
A statement in the caption reads: ''What would we do without you' The extraordinary company, cast, crew, musicians, subs, stage & company management, covid safety teams, front of house team, box office team, press team, marketing team, Patti’s toilet and every other unsung hero who continue to pull together to deliver Company… 'How would we ever get through'.'
