This clever series of comic vignettes by the legendary composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim (Sweeney Todd, Into the Woods) finds the still-single Bobby celebrating his 35th birthday in the company of his best friends, all of whom want to help him settle down and finally commit to a meaningful relationship. Over the course of dinner, drinks and even a wedding, they reflect on connections and commitments, shedding an insightful light on modern love, while singing hits like "Being Alive," as well as "Side By Side," "Another Hundred People" and "The Ladies Who Lunch." With a score by Sondheim and book by George Furth, the original 1970 Broadway production of Company received 14 Tony Award nominations, winning six of them -- including Best Musical. This latest revival comes courtesy of the San Francisco Playhouse.
