Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre (Broadway)
242 West 45th St. New York, NY
Company will come home to New York this season, with opening night set for March 22, 2020 at Broadway's Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre. The production will officially open on Stephen Sondheim's 90th Birthday following previews, which begin Monday, March 2. The production, directed by Marianne Elliott, will not be a replica of the version that recently ran in London's West End. It will feature an American cast, and some updates.
At Bobbie's 35th birthday party all her friends are wondering why she isn't married; why she can't find the right man and why she hasn't settled down to have a family. The multi-award winning musical comedy about life, love and marriage includes Stephen Sondheim's iconic songs, "The Ladies who Lunch," "Being Alive," "Side by Side," and "You Could Drive a Person Crazy."

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Company
Company
10 / 10
The modern setting and gender switches help; with a woman as Bobbie, and the sexes of several couples swapped around, the text plays out in exciting new ways. (The sequence for the instrumental 'Tick Tock,' for instance, now evokes the notion of a biological clock.) The comedy of the modernized book scenes is squeezed to the hilt by a cast that includes musical-theater überdiva Patti LuPone, harnessing her imperious earthiness to outstanding effect, and Broadway pros like Jennifer Simard-who can make any line a laugh line-Nikki Renée Daniels and the Christophers Sieber and Fitzgerald. The show's surreal aspects are realized in designer Bunny Christie's fantastical urban set: a constantly shifting wow of claustrophobic frame-lit boxes, monochromatic interiors, elevators going up and down, Alice in Wonderland-style shifts of scale.
COMPANY: EVERYBODY RISE FOR THIS SMASHING SONDHEIM REVIVAL
10 / 10
Naturally, there have been a few other character gender swaps as well: The aforementioned eligible bachelors our hero is juggling now sing 'You Could Drive a Person Crazy'; it may no longer be an Andrews Sisters-style number, but the three-part harmonies are as groovy as ever. Amy-the reluctant bride who sings 'Getting Married Today'-has become Jamie the reluctant groom; Matt Doyle's take on the warp-speed, tongue-twisting tune is simply marvelous. And Bobbie's impulse proposal to Jamie ('Marry me! And everybody'll leave us alone!') is just as ridiculous as Bobby's impulse proposal to Amy always was. 'It's just that you have to want to marry somebody, not just somebody,' Jamie explains gently, leading to Bobbie's Act 1-ending 'Marry Me A Little'-the stop on the road on the way to the show-ending 'Being Alive.' Even though she proclaims 'I'm ready now,' she's clearly not: 'Love me just enough./ Warm and sweet and easy,/ Just the simple stuff,' she coos. Lenk-a Tony winner for The Band's Visit-really gets to show her range as an actress in Company.
