Five people in a New York bar on Valentine’s Day, 1974, think about their lives in the 1960s which brought them to their point of paralysis and stagnation. An insightful look at the convulsions of the post-summer of love era and its consequences for the decades to come.
Company
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and Directed by Jean-Bernard Bucky
November 12 , 13 , 14 | 8:00 PM | MainStage
Company, first produced in 1970, was acknowledged to be a new model for musical theatre quite unlike the conventional book musical. It is a theatrical montage, which attempts to explore the inner worlds of memory and desire by mobilizing well known musical forms—jazz, lyrical ballads, marches, comic vamps, and patter songs—often in ironic confrontation with the show’s characters and their urbane, witty and ambiguous lyrics. Company won six Tony Awards, and it remains one of Sondheim’s most beloved and most frequently produced works
