The clashing sounds and pulsing rhythms of New York City underscore this landmark “concept” show, considered by many to have inaugurated the modern era of musical theatre. “Company” follows our anti-hero bachelor Robert as he makes his way through a series of encounters with April (the stewardess), Kathy (the girl who’s going to marry someone else), Marta (the “peculiar” one), as well as with his married friends. On the night of his 35th birthday, confirmed bachelor Robert contemplates his unmarried state. In a moment of Bobby’s life vignette after hilarious vignette, we are introduced to “those good and crazy people,” his married friends, as Robert weighs the pros and cons of married life. In the end, he realizes being alone is “alone, not alive.” An honest, witty, sophisticated look at relationships, “Company” is as contemporary and relevant as ever. It features a brilliant energetic score containing many of Sondheim’s best-known songs and an ensemble of quirky, memorable Woody Allen-esque characters which doubles as the show’s chorus. This, in addition to the unit set and modest orchestra size makes Company a great show for intimate stages. Musical numbers include “Company,” “The Little Things You Do Together,” “Sorry-Grateful,” “You Could Drive A Person Crazy,” “Have I Got A Girl For You,” “Someone Is Waiting,” “Another Hundred People,” “Getting Married Today,” “Marry Me A Little,” “Side By Side By Side,” “Poor Baby,” “Barcelona,” “The Ladies Who Lunch,” and “Being Alive.” | |
