Stephen Sondheim's COMPANY
Cindy makes her musical theatre directing debut with Stephen Sondheim’s COMPANY at Centenary College of Louisiana. April 6 & 7, 2019, at the Marjorie Lyons Playhouse. Tickets here!
From musical theatre's most renowned composer, Company is largely regarded as a trailblazer of the dark-comedy, modern-musical genre and the winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score, Best Lyrics and Best Book.
As his 35th birthday approaches, confirmed bachelor Robert contemplates his unmarried state. His life is a whirlwind of dates, dinners, drinks, and celebrations with "those good and crazy people [his] married friends" and the women he is dating --- but despite all the company, he is somehow always alone. Through a series of vignettes, Robert's friends demonstrate the pros and cons of wedded life, and the commitment-phobic Robert is forced to confront his adamant retention of bachelorhood during a hilarious array of interactions.
Company features a brilliantly brisk and energetic score containing many of Stephen Sondheim's best known songs, including Ladies Who Lunch, Not Getting Married, and Being Alive.
