A smart, bittersweet musical comedy
portrayal of married couples, as seen by their
bachelor friend.
Five married couples all want to see their
bachelor friend Bobby settled down. Three
girls all want Bobby’s affection. And Bobby?
He doesn’t know what he wants. This
musical comedy look at the sometimes
wonderful, sometimes caustic, but
undeniably necessary aspects of human
relationships are what make this arguably
Stephen Sondheim’s greatest musical.
Quick witted and razor sharp, the touching
lyrics and true to life characters are what
made this show such a success in its recent,
Tony award winning, Broadway revival, and
why we know you’ll love having Bobby and
his friends as Company.
