  • Best Book of a Musical, Tony Awards - 1971
  • Best Musical, Tony Awards - 1971

Stephen Sondheim and George Furth's iconic musical comedy about life, love and marriage.

Often considered the first 'concept musical', Company comprises several short vignettes about Robert - single but surrounded by married friends - which unfold in no particular chronological order, but are all tied together by a surprise 35th birthday party.

Company opened on Broadway in April 1970, at the Alvin Theatre, in a production directed by Hal Prince. It was nominated for a record-setting fourteen Tony Awards and won six, including Best Musical and Best Book of a Musical.

The first West End production opened in January 1972, at Her Majesty's Theatre.

Press Quotes

'A landmark musical, one of those few shows that enter the permanent lore of the theatre by altering the vocabulary of dramatic possibilities'

Time Magazine

'With a deliberately episodic, painfully accurate book by George Furth and an unforgettable score by Stephen Sondheim, Company is a total reversal of the usual musical comedy format. It is rigorously unsentimental. It has the courage to be both bitter and honest about love and marriage'

Boston Globe

'There's never been a franker, more sophisticated work written for the musical stage'
