The Broadway show "Company" is a Tony-winning musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by George Furth. It first premiered on Broadway in 1970 at the Alvin Theatre and was a major success, nominated for 14 Tony Awards and winning six. The musical is considered a classic and is known as one of the first popular concept musicals. It follows the character Bobby, who is single and surrounded by married friends, exploring themes of marriage and relationships through a series of vignettes rather than a linear plot. "Company" has had multiple notable productions including Broadway revivals and a 2018 West End revival where the lead character Bobby was changed to a female Bobbie. The 2021 Broadway revival, directed by Marianne Elliott, features this gender change and other modern updates. The show runs approximately 2 hours and 25 minutes with one intermission and is currently playing at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre on Broadway. The original Broadway production featured stars like Dean Jones and Elaine Stritch, while the recent revival included performers such as Katrina Lenk and Patti LuPone. The musical includes famous songs like "Being Alive," "Not Getting Married Today," and "The Ladies Who Lunch".
