“Everything you’ve heard is true: Marianne Elliot’s reinvention of Stephen Sondheim’s 1970 musical is a triumph. Bobby becomes Bobbie, a 35-year-old woman negotiating singledom and the constant tick of her biological clock while surrounded by married friends. Rosalie Craig is both subtle and substantial as a latter-day Alice in Wonderland, Patti Lupone snarls and struts divinely, and this cast are really on it both comically and dramatically. Thrilling - it deserves all 9 of its Olivier award nominations.”

Overview

Marianne Elliott directs COMPANY, Stephen Sondheim and George Furth's musical comedy about life, love and marriage. Elliott & Harper Productions present this iconic musical with the lead role of 'Bobby' re-imagined for the first time as a woman. Featuring Stephen Sondheim's iconic songs - The Ladies Who Lunch, Being Alive, and Side by Side.

At Bobbi's 35th birthday party all her friends are wondering why isn't she married? Why can't she find the right man? Why doesn't she settle down and have a family? One thing is for certain; you will fall in love with COMPANY.

Starring Rosalie Craig as Bobbi and Tony and Olivier award-winner Patti LuPone as Joanne, this musical masterpiece opens in September 2018 at the Gielgud Theatre for a strictly limited season.
