Company Tickets
Company is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by George Furth. It concerns the relationships between Bobby, a single man who is celebrating his 35th birthday, the five married couples who are his best friends, and his three girlfriends. Unlike most "book musicals" which follow a clearly delineated plot, Company is a concept musical, comprised of short vignettes in no particular chronological order, all of them tied together with a surprise 35th birthday party. It is often considered the first concept musical.
Company's songs include "The Little Things You Do Together,"
"Sorry-Grateful," "Another Hundred People," "Getting Married Today," "The Ladies Who
Lunch," "Being Alive" and the title song.

Company Information Continued
Company is among the first musicals to deal with more adult problems through its music. As Sondheim put it, "they are middle class people with middle class problems". It is also one of the first musicals where the songs commented on the characters in the play instead of furthering the plot, a device which became a standard of Sondheim's.
Company first opened on Broadway at the Alvin Theatre on April 26, 1970 and starred Dean Jones, Barbara Barrie, Charles Kimbrough, Beth Howland, and Elaine Stritch. It was the first of several successful collaborations between Sondheim and director Harold Prince. The musical ran for 706 performances and it went on to win the New York Drama Critics Circle Award and the Tony Award for Best Musical. It was revived on Broadway in 1996 by the Roundabout Theatre Company. Company has since been revived many times on stages around the world.
