Fresh Production of Company, Starring Katrina Lenk & Patti LuPone, Begins Broadway Run
A unique new staging of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth's musical Company begins its Broadway run on March 2 at the Jacobs Theatre. Tony winner Marianne Elliott directs the production, a transfer from London's West End, set to officially open on March 22.
Elliott's take on the Tony-winning 1970 musical follows Bobbie (Bobby in the original) upon her 35th birthday party as her friends begin to wonder why she isn't married, why she can't find the right man and why she hasn't settled down to start a family. The musical features iconic songs including "The Ladies Who Lunch," "Being Alive," "Side by Side" and "You Could Drive a Person Crazy."
Heading the cast are Tony winner Katrina Lenk as Bobbie, Tony winner Patti LuPone (reprising her Olivier-winning turn) as Joanne, Matt Doyle as Jamie, Etai Benson as Paul, three-time Tony nominee Christopher Fitzgerald as David, two-time Tony nominee Christopher Sieber as Harry, Tony nominee Jennifer Simard as Sarah, Nikki Renée Daniels as Jenny, Greg Hildreth as Peter, Terence Archie as Larry, Claybourne Elder as Andy, Bobby Conte Thornton as PJ, Kyle Dean Massey as Theo and Rashidra Scott as Susan.
The ensemble includes Kathryn Allison, Stanley Bahorek, Britney Coleman, John Arthur Greene, Javier Ignacio, Anisha Nagarajan, Tally Sessions and Matt Wall.
The creative team for Company includes Liam Steel (choreography), Joel Fram (musical supervision), Bunny Christie (set and costume design), Neil Austin (lighting design), Ian Dickinson (sound design), David Cullen (orchestrations) and Sam Davis (dance arrangements).
