Synopsis

Winner of the 2007 Tony Award! Sweeping all the major theater awards for Best Revival of a Musical, a beloved era-defining classic is stunningly reinvented in this powerful Broadway production, featuring an explosive starring performance by Raul Esparza. Set in modern upper-crust Manhattan, Company is a funny, sophisticated exploration of love and commitment as seen through the eyes of a charming perpetual bachelor questioning his single state and his enthusiastically married, slightly envious friends. For the first time on stage, the play broaches the possibility that Bobby is gay. With a wise and witty Stephen Sondheim score including "Another Hundred People," "Side by Side by Side," "The Ladies Who Lunch" and "Being Alive," Company offers musical comedy at its finest.

Keeping Good Company

Amos Lassen wrote on 03/29/2011:

There is a certain something about a Stephen Sondheim show. The staging is always clever and the music is sublime. “Company” is a small show with a big heart as it tells the story of Bobby (wonderfully portrayed by Raul Esparza), the single man who is trying to figure out his own life by observing his married friends.
This “Company” like the recent Broadway revival of “Sweeney Todd” is done in chamber music form—there is no orchestra and the actors play the musical instruments and what was a fairly large show originally is scaled down. Some of the original orchestra arrangements were incredible and I missed them. The cast is a group of great singers and I found it a bit distracting when they walked around playing their instruments but even with that, this is a great show. Esparza is absolutely amazing and his powerful voice and emotion draws the viewer in.
What really shines are the ensemble numbers and the show is very witty and carries a strong message that any kind of commitment is compromise. Sometimes in choosing one way to go, we close alternatives and life is about making choices. Bobby’s problem is that he has never made a choice; instead he waits to see what others will do. It is not possible to live life by pretending to do so. The show looks at the topics of relationships and marriage and does so with class and style.
