Stephen Sondheim's landmark musical comedy COMPANY follows the life of Robert, a self-professed bachelor, attempting to discover love’s true meaning. As Robert celebrates his 35th birthday with married friends, he seeks their advice and finds that each of their relationships has its pros and cons. This comedic musical showcases a myriad of relationships: Robert’s three quirky girlfriends, a soon-to-be-bride with cold feet, and a married couple looking forward to a pleasant divorce. With familiar songs such as “Another Hundred People,” “The Ladies Who Lunch”, and “Being Alive,” this musical will be an audience pleaser.
This smart, sexy, fun show about marriage was a Broadway first – a “concept musical.” The story is told through vignettes rather than a linear plot and COMPANY’s premiere in 1970 marked the end of the traditional “book musical.” It ushered in the modern musical era, which included early blockbusters like A Chorus Line. COMPANY was awarded six Tonys in 1971 including Best Musical, Best Lyrics (Stephen Sondheim), and Best Book (George Furth). Thirty-eight years after the Broadway premiere, at a time when society is still passing laws and redefining what marriage means, COMPANY remains as relevant and razor-sharp as ever.
Director Kim Mytelka is pleased to announce the return of, “the finest musical production team ever,” as she has once again teamed up with the tremendous talents of Debra Maceo as Choreographer, Carol Daubert as Musical Director, and Jennifer Garza as Production Stage Manager. COMPANY will also include a six piece orchestra which will be conducted by Ms. Daubert.
COMPANY stars etc’s own Kevin Daugherty as Robert and welcomes back another founding member, Robin Lusby Schaefer as Joanne. Other cast members include: Sandi Morgan (Sarah); Michael Wonio (Harry); Ellen Dyer (Susan); Scott Daniel (Peter); Mary Lee Tarasiewicz (Jenny); Matt Alexander (David); Shelley Auer (Amy); Chris Pool (Paul); Russell Prince (Larry); Tara Wright (Marta); Penny Rieger (April); and Elise Ott (Kathy).
