Coleman is now the lead of the national tour that opened last Wednesday night at the Cadillac Palace Theatre. But her portrayal then and now couldn’t be more different. There was confidence and swagger on Broadway. This Bobbie is more tentative, more nuanced. An interpretive choice to suggest Bobbie is having none of the propaganda her friends are handing her and is remaining her own person?

This reimagined version of “Company” switches the genders of its lead character, from Bobby the man to Bobbie the woman, with some other corresponding moves as well. That concept works well enough in this new version, which still relies on the magical Sondheim touch with witty, engaging lyrics and easily likable music. George Furth wrote the original book, and both Sondheim and Furth won Tony Awards in 1971.
Performing Arts Fort Worth will launch a digital lottery powered by Broadway Direct for the engagement of COMPANY. Performances will run October 1-6.
Britney Coleman reveals that the COMPANY tour has recouped its initial investment! Watch the announcement in the video here.
The production is entirely fused with the bluish glow of the cellphones which tether the characters together and, in many ways, the continued relevance of the themes of the piece shine through. Musings on connections and loneliness seem freshly pertinent as Bobbie flicks through voicemails alone in her tiny apartment.

Nominated for a record-setting 14 Tony Awards and winning 6 in the original production in 1970, Stephen Sondheim’s COMPANY was one of the first musicals to deal with contemporary dating, marriage, and divorce. Originally played by a male lead, Director Marianne Elliott (with approval from Sondheim) decided to swap genders in the second West End revival in 2018, and Bobby then became Bobbie.
