It's Bobbie's thirty-fifth birthday party, and all her friends are
wondering why she isn't married. Why can't she find the right man,
settle down and start a family? A breakthrough on Broadway in 1970,
Company is Stephen Sondheim and George Furth's legendary musical
comedy about life, love and loneliness, featuring some of
Sondheim's most iconic songs including 'Company', 'You Could Drive
a Person Crazy', 'The Ladies Who Lunch', 'Side by Side' and 'Being
Alive'. The acclaimed West End revival in 2018 was conceived and
directed by award-winning director Marianne Elliott and produced by
Elliott & Harper Productions. Reimagining the musical by
switching the gender of several characters, including the
protagonist Bobbie, played by Rosalie Craig, the production also
starred Patti LuPone, Mel Giedroyc and Jonathan Bailey. It won the
Peter Hepple Award for Best Musical at the 2018 Critics' Circle
Theatre Awards. This edition features the complete revised book and
lyrics for the production, colour production photographs, and an
introduction by Sondheim's biographer David Benedict.
