Critics and audiences alike are cheering for Cygnet's latest production,Company. To meet the overwhelming positive demand for tickets, Cygnet Theatre has announced a 5 show extension of this musical comedy which has been virtually sold out since previews. Cygnet has decided to extend COMPANY run through Sunday, August 25 at 2pm.
Company is a musical comedy based on a book by George Furth with music and lyrics byStephen Sondheim. The original production premiered in 1970 and was nominated for a record-setting fourteen Tony Awards and won six. The show has enjoyed several revivals including a 2006 version that won the Tony for Best Revival of a Musical Company.
